slioubl  be  done  by  placing  wooden  steps  or  stairs  a;:ainst  the  slopes.  The  occasional  walk- 
ing of  persons  ort  a  parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  surface 
into  paths. 

37.  No  cattle,  horses,  or  other  animal,  shall  ever  be  permitted  to  go  upon  the  slopes,  the 
rampart  ,  or  the  parapets,  nor  upon  tbe  glacis,  except  within  fenced  limits,  which  should

38.  All  gras.sed  surfaces,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and  frequently  mowed, 
(except  in  dry  weather,)  and  the  oltener  the  better,  while  crowing  rapidly — the  grass 
being  never  allowed  to  bb  more  than  a  few  inches  higli.  In  order  to  cut  the  grass  even 
and  close,  upon  small  slopes,  a  light  one- hiinded  scytiieshould  be  used  ;  and  in  mowing,  tbe 
steep  .-lopes,  the  mower  should  stand  on  a  licht  ladder  resting  against  the  slope,  and  not 
upon  the  grass.  Crops  of  hay  miy  be  cut  on  the  glacis;  or,  if  fenced,  it  may  be  used  as 
pasture,  otherwise  it  should  be  treated  as  other  slopes  of  the  fortification.  On  all  the 
slopes,  -pots.of  dead  grass  will  be  cut  out  and  replaced  by  fresh  sod.  All  weeds  will  be 
eradicateil.  »

galleries,  posterns, magazines,  &c.,  and  the  side-walks  in  front  of  quarters,  as  well  as  other 
walks,  are  sometimes  paved  with  brick  or  stones,  or  lormed  of  concrete.  Taese  swrfaces 
must  be  preserved  from  injury  with  great  care.  In  transporting  guns  and  carriages,  and 
in  mounting  them,  strong  way  plaaks  will  be  used,  and  neither  the  wheels  nor  any  other 
part  of  the  carriages,  nor  an}'  macliincrj',  such  as  sliears,  gins.  &c.,  nor  any  handspike  or 
other  implements,  will  be  allowed  ta  touch  those  surfaces.  Unless  protected  in  a  similar 
manner,  no  wheel-barrow,  or  vehicle,  or  barrel,  shall  be  rolled  on  said  surfaces.  No  vio- 
lent work  will  be  done,  nor  any  heav}'  weight  suffered  to  fall  upon  them.  In  using  ma- 
chines, as  gins,  &c.,  in  casemates,  care  must  be  taken  not  to  injure  the  arch,  or  ceiling,  or 
floors.  Neglect  of  thesa  precautions  may  cause  injuries  apparently  slight,  but  serious  in 
effect,  from  leaking  of  water  into  masonry,  casemates,  &c.  •

every  garrison,  and  no  tecbniral  knowledge  is  required  bevond  what  will  be  fouu'!  among 
soldiers.  Other  repairs  requiring  small  disbursements,  such  as  repainting  cxjjosed  wund  or 
iron  work,  can  be  also  executed  by  the  garrison;  but  reports,  estimates,  and  requisitions, 
may  be  necessary  to  obtain  the  materiaLs. 

47.  No  alteration  will  be  made  in  any  fortification,  or  in  any  buildmg  whatc^'er  belong- 
ing to  it,  nor  in  any  building  or  work  of  any  kind  ;  tior  will  any  building  or  wurk  of  earth, 
masonry,  or  timber,  be  erected  within  the  fortification,  or  on  its  exterior,  within  half  a 
mile,  except  under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  Department,  aud  by  authority  of 
the  Secretary  of  War. 

ARTICLE   X. 

CARE    OF    ARMAMENT    OF    FORTIFICATIONS. 

48.  At  each  permanent  post  with  a  fixed  battery,  an»l  garrisoned  by  not  more  than  one 
company,  there  will  be  kt^^it  mounted  for  purposes  of  instruction  and  target  practice,  three 
heavy  guns;  and  at  posts  garrisoned  bv  more  than  one  company,  at  the  rate  of  Uou  for 
each  of  the  companies  composing  its  garri.-on.  The  other  guns  dismounted  will  be  prop- 
erly placed  within  their  own  traverse  circles,  and  the  carriages  preserved  from  the  weather. 

49.  All  guns  should  be  sponged  clean,  and  their  vents  examined  to  see  that  theyaie 
clear.  The  chassis  should  be  traversed  and  left  in  a  different  position,  the  top  carnage 
moved  backward  and  forward,  and  left  altei'natel}^  over  the  front  and  rear  transoms  of  the 
chassis;  the  elevating  scresvs  or  machines  wiped  clean,  worked  and  oiled  if  requireil  and 
the  nuts  of  all  bolts  screwed  up  tight.  This  should  all  be  done  regularly  once  in  every 
week. 

5u.  When  tarpaulins,  or  pent  houses,  are  placed  over  tlie  guns,  tbey  should  be  removed 
once  a  week  when  the  weather  is  faii-,  the  carriages  and  guns  brushed  off,  and  if  damp, 
allowed  to  dry. 

51.  An  old  sponge-staff  and  head,  should  be  used  for  drill.  The  new  sponges  should 
never  be  used  unless  the  gun  is  fired.  The  implements  should  be  kept  in  stores,  under 
cover,  and  be  examined,  wiped  clean,  or  brushed  at  least  once  a  month.  In  ca<e  of  leather 
equipments,  due  care  saould  be  taken  for  their  preservation,  by  t!.e  use  of  oil,  but  never 
using  varnish. 

52.  Magazines  should  be  frequently  examined  to  see  that  the  powder  is  well  i>reserved. 
They  should  be  opened  every  other  day,  when  the  air  i-*  dry  and  clear.  Barrels  of  ])owder 
should  be  turned  and  rolled  occasionally.  Under  ordinary  circumstances,  only  a  few  car- 
tridges should  be  kept  filled.  If  the  paper  body  of  the  cartridge  becomes  soft,  or  loses 
its  .sizing,  it  is  certain  that  the  magazine  is  very  damp,  and  means  should  be  found  to  im- 
prove the  ventilation,  (/artridge  biigs  may  bo  kept  in  the  magazine  ready  for  filling  ;  also 
port-fires,  fuses,  tubes  and  primers.    Stands  of  grape,  cannistor,  aud  wads  for  barbette

or  In  counting  the  beats  (previously  ascertaining  tlieir  value)  of  other  watches,  and  the 
range  may  sometimes  be  cotnputed  by  tlie  time  of  flight.  Other  modes  ascertaining  the 
rnngo  will  readily  occur  to  ofiiccrs  of  sc'ence. 

')<■*.  When  charged  shells  with  fuzes  are  thrown,  the  time  of  bursting  will  be  noted.

12  ORDNANCE  SERGEANTS. 

Enclosed  herewith  you  will  receive  the  report  of ,  the   officer  commanclini!;  the 

company  in  which  the  sergeant  has  been  serving,  to  which  I  add  the  following  ren.arks  : 

,  Commanding Regiment. 

120.  When  a  company  is  detached  (rom  the  headquarters  of  the  Regiment,  the  reports 
of  the  commanding  officer  in  tLis  matter,  will  pass  to  tbe  regimental  beadquarterf;  through 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  post  or  detachment,  and  be  accompanied  by  his  opinion  as 
to  th:;  fiUiess  of  the  candidate. 

127.  Ordnance  Sergeants  will  he  assigned  to  posts  when  appointed,  and  are  not  to  be 
transferred  to  other  stations  except  by  orders  from  the  Adjutant  and  fnspector-Generars 
Office. 

128.  At  tlie  expiration  of  their  term  of  service,  ordnance  sergeants  may  be  re-enlisted, 
provided  they  shall  have  conducted  themselves  in  a  becoming  manner,  and  .p.-rformed 
their  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  commanding  officer.  If  the  commanding  -  fficer, 
howeve;',  shall  not  tliink  proper  to  re-enlist  the  ordnance  sergeant  of  his  post,  he  will  not 
discharge  him  at  the  expiration  of  his  service,  unless  it  shall  be  the  wish  of  the  sergi^ant, 
but  wil!  communicate  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspeotor-Genaral  his  reasons  f)^  declining  to 
re-eniist  him,  to  be  submitted  to  the  War  Department. 

129.  Tlie  officers  interested  must  be  aware,  from  the  natu)e  of  the  duties  assigned  to 
ordnance  sergeants,  that  the  judicious  selection  of  them  is  of  no  small  importance  to  the 
interests  of  the  service  ;  and  that  while  the  law  contemplit.es,  in  the  appointm'mt  of  these 
non-commisioned  officers,  the  better  preservation  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores  in 
deposit  In  the  several  forts,  there  is  the  further  motive  of  ofFe-ing  a  reward  to  tiirse  faith- 
ful and  well-tried  sergeants  who  have  long  served  their  country,  and  ofthu-;  giving  en- 
couragement to  the  soldier  in  the  ranks  to  emulate  them  in  conduct,  and  thereby  secure 
substiintial  promotion.  Colonels  and  captains  cannot,  therefore,  be  too  particular  in  inves- 
tigating the  characters  of  the  candidates,  and  in  giving  their  testimony  as  to  their  merits. 

130.  The  appcintment  and  removal  of  ordnance  sergeants,  statioiled  at  military  posts, 
in  pursuance  of  the  above  provi.^ions  of  law,  shall  be  reported  by  the  Adjutant  and  Inspec- 
tor-General to  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

131.  When  a  non-comiui^sioned  officer  receives  the  appointment  of  ordnance  sergeant, 
he  shall  be  dropped  from  the  rolls  ol  the  regiment  or  company  in  which  he  may  be  serving 
at  the  time.

tion, and  other  military  stores  at  the  post  to  which  theyJmay  bejattached,  under  the  direction 
o(  the  Cdintuanding  officer,  and  according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

133.  If  a  post  be  evacuated,  the  ordnance  sergeant  shall  remain  on  duty  at  the  station, 
under  the  direction  of  the  Chief  of  the  Ort^iance  Department,  in  charge  of  the  ordnance 
and  ordnance  stores,  and  of  such  other  public  |)roperty  as  is  not  in  charge  of  some  officer 
or  agent  of  other  Departments  ;  for  which  ordnance  stores  and  other  property  he  wdl  ac- 
count to  the  chiefs  of  the  proper  depaitnients  until  otherwise  directed.

he  shall  be  governed  by  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department  in  making  issues  of 
the  same,  and  in  preparing  and  furnishing  the  requisite  return*.  If  the  means  at  his  dis- 
posal are  not  sufficient  for  the  preservation  of  the  property,  he  shall  report  the  circum- 
stances to  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  Department.

tillery ;  and  they  are  to  appear  under  arms  with  the  troops  at  all  reviews  and  inspections, 
monthly  and  weekly. 

13G.  When  serving  at  any  post  which  may  be  the  headquarters  of  a  regiment,  ordnance 
sergeants  shall  be  re|>orted  by  name  on  the  post  returns,  and  mustered  with  the  non-ci  m-

ground  it  marched  from,  and  command, 

Guide  left. 
in  time  for  the  guides  to  cover.     The  column  having  arrived  on  its  ground,  the  Colonel 
will  command, 

1.  Column.     2.  Halt  ! 
form  it  in  order  of  battle,  and  cause  the  ranks  to  be  opened,  as  in  paragraph  341.     The 
review  will  terminate  by  the  wiiole  saluting  as  at  the  beginning. 

352.  If,  however,  instructions  have  been  previously  given  to  march  the  troops  past  in 
quick  time,  also,  the  Colonel  will,  instead  of  charging  the  guides,  halting  the  coluuui  and 
wheeling  it  into  line,  as  above  directed,  give  the  command, 

1.  Quick  time.  2.  March. 
In  passing  the  reviewing  officer  again,  no  salute  will  be  offered  by  either  officers  or  men. 
The  music  will  have  kept  its  position  opposite  the  reviewing  officer,  and  at  the  last  com- 
mand will  commence  playing,  and  as  the  column  approaches,  will  place  itself  in  front  of, 
and  march  off"  with,  the  column,  and  continue  to  pla}'  until  the  battalion  is  halted  on  its 
original  ground  of  formation.  The  review  will  terminate  in  the  same  manner  as  pre- 
scribed above. 

353.  The  Colonel  will  afterwards  cause  the  troops  to  perform  such  exercises  and  man- 
oeuvres as  the  reviewing  officer  may  direct. 

354.  When  two  or  more  battalions  are  to  be  reviewed,  they  will  be  formed  in  paraiJe 
order,  with  the  proper  intervals,  and  will  also  peiform  the  same  movements  that  are  laid 
down  for  a  single  battalion,  observing  the  additional  directions  tiiat  are  given  for  such 
movements  when  applied  to  the  line.  The  Brigadier-General  and  his  staff,  on  foot,  will 
place  themselves  opposite  the  centre  of  the  brigade;  the  Briiradier-Gcneral  two  paces  in 
front  of  the  rank  of  Colonels,  his  aid  two  paces  on  his  riglit,  and  one  retired ;  and  the 
other  brigade  staff  officers,  those  having  the  rank  of  field  officers,  in  the  rank  of  Lieuten- 
ant-Colonels and  Majors  and  those  belnw  that  rank,  in  the  rank  of  company  officers. 

355.  Tn  passing  in  review,  a  Major- General  will  be  four  paces  in  front  of  the  Colonel  of 
the  leading  battalion  of  his  division,  ai'd  the  Brigadier  General  will  be  on  the  right  of  the 
Colonels  of  the  leading  battalions  of  their  brigades;  staff  oflicers  on  the  left  of  their 
Generals. 

35(i.  When  the  line  exceeds  two  battalions,  the  reviewing  officer  may  cjttse  them  to 
march  past  in  quick  time  onl.v-     In  such  cases,  the  mounted  officers  only  will  salute. 

357.  A  number  of  companies  less  than  a  battalion  will  be  reviewed  as  a  battalion,  and  a 
single  company  as  if  it  w?re  with  the  battalion.  In  the  latter  case,  the  company  may 
pass  in  column  or  platoons. 

358.  Tf  several  brigades  are  to  be  reviewed  together,  or  in  one  line,  this  further  differ- 
ence will  be  obsejved  :  the  reviewing  personage,  joined  b}'  the  General  of  the  division,  on 
the  tight  of  his  division,  will  pioceed  down  the  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  whm  near 
the  Brigadier-General >  respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  theit  brigades  in  successitm.  The 
music  of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  plaj'  while  the  reviewing  personage  is  in 
front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  .>nly  then. 

350.  Tn  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time,  the  music  of  each 
succeeding  battalion  will  rommence  to  play  when  the  music  of  the  preceding  one  has 
cea-^ed.  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion.  When  marching  in  quick  titne,  t'. e  music  will 
begin  to  plaj'  when  the  rear  company  of  the  preceding  battalion  ha«  passed  the  review- 
ing officer. 

300.  The  reviewing  officer  or  personage  will  acknowledge  the  salute  by  raising,  or 
taking  off  his  cap  or  liat,  when  the  commander  of  the  troops  salutes  him ;  and  also  when 
the  colors  pass.  The  remainder  of  the  time  occupied  by  the  passage  of  the  troops  he  will 
be  covered. 

301.  The  review  of  cavalry  and  artillery  will  be  conducted  on  similar  principles,  and 
according  to  the  systems  of  instruction  for  those  arms  of  the  service. 


30  GUARD-MOUNTING. 

III.    GUARD-MOUNTING. 

362.  Camj)  nnd  p;arrison  guards  will  be  relieved  every  twenty-four  hours.  The  guards 
at  outpost^;  will  ordinarily  be  relieved  in  the  same  manner ;  but  this  must  depend  on  their 
distances  from  camp,  or  other  circumstances,  which  may  sometimes  require  their  continu- 
icg  on  dutj'  several  days.  In  such  cases  the}'  must  be  previously  warned  to  provide 
theraseivfs  accordingly. 

363.  At  the  first  call  for  guard-mountiug,  the  men  warned  for  duty  turn  out  on  their 
company  parades  for  inspection  by  the  First  Sergeants;  and  at  the  second  call,  repair  to 
the  regimental  or  garrison  parade,  conducted  by  the  First  Sergeants.  Each  detachment, 
&s  it  arrives,  will,  under  the  direction  of  the  Adjutant,  take  post  on  the  left  of  the  one 
that  preceded  it,  in  open  order,  arms  shouldered  and  bayonets  fixed  ;  the  supernumeraries 
five  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  men  of  their  respective  companies  ;  the  First  Sergeants  in  the 
rear  ot  them.  The  Sergeant-Major  will  dress  the  ranks,  count  the  files,  verify  the  details, 
and  wheu  the  guard  is  formed,  report  to  the  Adjutant,  and  take  post  two  paces  on  the

twelve  paces  in  front  of  the  centre,  the  Sergeants  in  one  rank,  four  paces  in  the  rear  of 
the  officers  ;  and  the  Corporals  in  one  rank,  four  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  Sergeants  —  all 
facins:  to  the  tront.     The  Adjutant  then  assigns  their  places  in  the  guard. 

365.  The  Adjutant  will  then  command, 

1.  Offi,:er,aiid  non-commi:^sumM  offi,cers.  2.  About — Face!  3.  Inspect  your  guards — March! 
The  non-commissioned  officers  then  take  their  posts.  The  commander  of  the  guard  then 
commands, 

1.  Order — Arms!     2.  Inspection — Arms! 
and  insp'^cts  his  guard.     When  there  is  no  commissioned  officer  on  the  guard,  the  Adju- 
tant will  inspect  it.     During  inspection,  the  band  will  play. 

360.  The  inspection  ended,  the  officer  of  the  guard  takes  post  as  though  the  guard  were 
a  company  of  a  battalion,  in  open  order,  under  review  ;  at  the  same  time,  also,  the  officers 
of  the  day  will  take  post  in  front  of  the  centre  of  the  guard ;  the  old  officers  of  the  day 
three  paces  on  the  right  of  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  one  pace  retired. 

367.  The  Adjutant  will  now  commaud, 

1.  Parade — Rest  !     2.  Troop — Beat  off! 
when  the  music,  beginning  on  the  right,  will  beat  down  the  line  in  front  of  the  ofiicer  of 
the  guard  to  the  left,  and  back  to  its  place  on  the  right,  where  it  will  ce4se  to  play. 

368.  The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

1.  Attention!     2.  Shordder — Abjws  !     3.  Close  order — March! 
At  the  word  "close  order,"  the  officer  will  face  about;  at  "march,"  resume  his  post 
in  line.     The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

Present  —  Arms! 
at  which  he  will  face  to  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  salute,  and  report,  "Sir,  the  guard  is 
formed.''''  The  new.  officer  of  the  daj',  after  acknowledging  the  salute,  svill  direct  the  Ad- 
jutant to  march  the  guard  in  review,  or  by  flank  to  its  post.  But  if  the  Adjutant  be 
senior  to  the  officer  of  the  day,  he  will  report  without  saluting  with  the  sword  then,  or 
when  marcliins:  the  guard  in  review. 

369.  In  review  the  guard  march  past  the  officer  of  the  dav.  according  to  the  order  of 
review,  conducted  by  the  Adjutant,  murching  on  the  left  of  the  first  di/ision  ;  the  Sei-- 
geant- Major  on  the  left  of  the  last  division. 

370.  When  the  column  has  passed  the  officer  of  the  day,  the  officer  of  the  guard 
marches  it  to  its  post,  the  Adjutant  and  Sergeant-Major  retiring.  The  music,  which  has 
wheeled  out  of  the  column,  and  taken  post  opposite  the  officer  of  the  day,  will  cease,  and 
the  old  officer  of  the  day  salute,  and  give  the  old  or  standing  orders  to  the  new  officer  of 
the  day.  The  supernumeraries,  at  the  same  time,  will  be  marched  by  the  First  Sergeants 
to  their  respective  company  parades,  and  di.smi.«sed. 

371.  In  bad  weather,  or  at  night,  or  after  fatiguing  marches,  the  ceremony  of  turning 
off  may  be  dispensed  with,  but  not  the  inspection. 

372.  Grand  guards,  and  other  brigade  guards,  are  organized  and  mounted  on  the  bri- 
gade parade  by  the  staff  officers  of  the. parade,  under  the  direction  of  the  field  olficer  of 
the  day  of  the  brigade,  according  to  the  principles  here  prescribed  for  the  police  guard  of 
a  regiment.  The  detail  of  each  regiment  is  assembled  on  the  regimental  parade,  verified 
by  the  Adjutant,  and  marched  to  the  brigade  parade  by  the  senior  officer  of  the  detail.

ARTICLE  XXXVI. 

TROOPS    IN    CAMPAIGN. — ORGANIZATION    OF    AN    ARMY    IN    THE    FIELD. 

461.  The  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and  administration  of 
armies  in  the  field. 

462.  A  divi-io'i  consists  usually  of  two  or  three  brigades,  either  of  infantry  or  cavalry, 
and  troops  ol  other  corps  in  the  necessary  proportion. 

463.  A  brigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.     The  first  number  takes  the  right. 
4('4.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantiy  and  light  cavalry,  especially  for 

the  Jidvance  guards. 

465.  As  the  troops  arrivo  at  the  rendezvous,  the  general  commanding-in-chief  will 
organize  tlu'in  into  brigades  and  divisions. 

466.  The  light  cavalry  is  emplo}  ed  as  flankers  and  partizans,  and  generally  for  all  serv- 
ice out  of  the  line. 

407.  Heavy  civalry  belongs  to  the  r  'serve,  and  is  covered,  when  neces.sary,  in  marches, 
cam-iS,  or  bivouacs,  by  liglit  troops,  or  ii'faiitry  of  the  line. 

468.  The  arrangement  of  the  troops  on  parade  and  in  order  oi'  battle  is — 1st,  the  light 
infantry;  2d,  infantry  of  the  line;  ud,  light  cavalry;  4th,  cavalry  of  the  line;  5rli,  heavy 
cavalry.  The  troops  of  the  artillery  ami  engineers  are  in  the  centre  of  the  brigades,  divi- 
sions, or  corps  to  which  they  are  attached;  marine.s  take  the  left  of  other  infaiitrv  ;  vol- 
unteers and  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  ti'oops  of  the  same  arm,  and  among  themselves, 
regiments  of  volunteers  or  militia  of  the  same  arm  take  place  by  lot.  This  arrangement 
is  varied  by  the  general  commanding  in  chief,  as  the  circumstances  ol  war  render  expedient. 

469.  Brigades  in  divisions,  and  divisions  in  the  army,  are  numbered  Iroin  right  to  left; 
]«it  in  leports  of  military  tiperations,  brigades  and  divisions  are  designated  by  the  name  of 
the  general  coinmandiiig  them.  , 

4"0.  The  order  of  legiuients  in  brigades  and  of  brigades  in  divisions  may  be  changed 
by  the  commander  of  the  division  lor  important  reasons,  such  as  th*e  weakness  of  some 
corps,  or  to  relieve  one  from  marching  too  h.ng  at  the  rear  of  the  column.  Such  clianges 
inu-t  be  reported  to  the  general  commanding  in-chiyf 

471  The  general  commanding-inchief  assigns  the  generals  of  divisions  and  of  brigades 
to  their  resiiecti vc  commands,  when  the  assignment  is  not  made  by  the  Department  of  War. 

472.  The  general  of  brigade  inspects  his  troops  in  detail,  by  companies,  when  he  takes 


TROOPS  IN  CAMPAIGN.  S9 

X  the  {'oramand  and  at  the  openinj^  of  the  campaign,  and  as  often  as  may  be  nrce^sary  to 
ascertain  exactly  their  condition.     Thi-  general  of  division  makes  similar  inspections  when 

['    ho  thinks  proper.     At  these  inspections  the  generals  examine   the  arms,  clothing,  equip- 
ments, harnes*^,  horses,  &c.;  diivct  d\v.  necessary  repairs, and dcbignate  the  men  and  horses 
to  remain  in  depot,  or  march  with  the  train. 
J       473.  Reports  of  inspections  are  made  by  the  general  of  brigade  to  the  general  of  division, 
j.and  by  the  general  of  division  to  the  genc-ral  commanding  in-chief. 

,        474.  During  marches  and   all   active  operations,  gent-rals  of  brigade  keep  themselves 
,    exactly  informed,  by  reptirts  of  corps   and   by  their  inspections,  of  tlie  actual  strength  of 
the  regiments,  so  as  always,  and  especially  after  an  eugfigement,  to  make  accurate  returns 
to  the  general  of  division. 

475.  Staff  otlicers  and  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillerr,  according  to  the  nature  of  the 
service,  are  assigned  to  the  iieadqu;irters  of  armies  and  divisions,  and  detached  brigatles, 

,  by  order  of  the  genernl  commanding-in  cliief,  when  the  distribution  of  tliese  offieeis  lias 
not  been  nguhited  by  the  AVar  Dejiaitnient.  TLe  necessary  staflf  will  be  a.'^signed  to 
commanders  o(  brig;ides. 

476.  When  an  Engineer  or  other  ofllcer  is  charged  with  directing  an  expedition  or 
making  a  rtconnoisancn,  without  having  command  of  the  escoi  t,  the  couunai.der  of  the 
escort  .'-hall  consult  him  on  all  the  airangements  uecessar}'  to  secure  the  success  of  the 
operation. 

477.  Staff  officers,  and  cnmmandets  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  report  to  their  immedi- 
ate commanders  tiie  state  of  the  supplies  and  whatever  concerns  the  service  under  their 
direction,  and  receive  their  oi'ders,  and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from  their 
superiors  in  their  own  corps. 

478%  The  seniir  ofMeer  of  engineers,  of  artillery,  and  the  departments  of  the  general 
staff  serving  at  the  chief  headquarters  in  the  field,  will  transmit  to  the  bureau  of  his  de- 
partment at  Richmond,  at  the  close  of  the  campaign,  and  such  other  times  as  the  com- 
mander in  the  iifid  may  approve,  a  full  report  of  the  ojierations  of  his  department,  and 
whatever  inlormation  to  impi'ove  its  service  he  may  be  aide  to  furnish. 

The  report  of  the  officer  of  eiigiiieei--  will  emfnace  plwns  of  military  works  executed 
during  the  campaign,  and,  in  case  of  siege,  a  journal  of  the  attack  or  defen.se. 

CONTKIBirTIONS. 

479.  When  the  wants  of  the  army  absohitelv  require  it,  and  in  olher  cases,  under  spe- 
cial instructions  from  the  War  Department,  the  general  coumiHiiding  the  arm\"  may  levy 
contribiiti(>n-i  in  money  or  kind  tni  ihe  enemy's  couiitr\  occupied  by  the  ^^roops  No 
other  commander  can  levy  such  contributions  without  written  authority  from  the  general 
commanding-in-chief. 

OUnKRLIES. 

4S0.  At  the  opening  of  a  campaign,  1 1  e  commander  of  an  army  determines  and  an- 
nounces in  or' ers  the  nsniber  of  orderlies,  mounted  or  Coot,  for  <  he  tJenerals,  and  the 
corps|)r  legiments  by  which  they  are  to  be  supjdied,  and  the  periods  at  wlncli  they  shall 
be  relieved. 

481.  In  marches,  the  mounted  orderlies  fallow  the  Generals,  and  perform  the  duty  of 
escorts,  or  march  with  orderlies  on  loot  at  the  head  of  the  divi^icln  or  brigade 

482.  'ihe  .-taff  ofheer  who  disiributfs  the  orderlies  to  their  posts  senis  with  them  a 
n'^tc  of  the  time  and  })iace  of  departure;  those  relieved  receive  a  like  note  fivm  the  staft" 
officer  at  headquarters. 

483.  Mounted  soldiers  arc  to  be  emjiloyed  to  carry  di-patchcs  only  in  special  and  urj:(  flt 
cases. 

484.  Tlie  preci.^e  time  when  the  dispatch  is  sent  (iff,  ami  the  rate  at  which  it  is  to  be 
conveyed,  ire  t  >  be  written  cleai-ly  on  the  rovers  of  all  letters  transmitte  I  lo  a  mounted 
orderly,  and  the  n-C'-ssary  instructions  to  him.  and  tlie  rate  of  travel  going  and  returning, 
are  to  be  distinctly  explained  to  him. 

nEPOTS. 

I  • 

4S.').  The  grand  ib'pots  of  an  army  are  established  where  the  military  operations  would 
not  expose  them  to  be  broken  up.  .Smaller  depots  are  oriruiiz"d  for  the  divisions  and  the 
several  arm-.  T:;ey  are  commandtnl  by  officers  temporarily  i^abled  for  fb  Id  -eiv  co,  f'r 
by  other  officers  when  ncces-saryj  .fnd  con ipri.se,  ds  much  as  po.ssible,  the  hospitals  and 


40  ^  CAMPS. 

depots  for  convalescents.  When  conveniently  placed,  tbey  serve  as  points  for  the  halting 
and  Hsseniblin^  of  detachments.  They  receive  the  disabled  from  the  corps'  on  the  march i 
and  the  officers  in  command  of  the  depots  send  with  the  detachments  to  the  army  those 
at  the  depots  who  have  become  fit  for  service. 


486.  Camp  is  the  place  where  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  huts,  or  in  bivouac. 
Cantonments  are  the  inhaliited  places  which  troops  occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in 
barraoks.     The  camping-party  is  a  detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  camp. 

487.  Reconnoissances  should  precede  the  establishment  of  the  camp.  For  a  camp  of 
troops  on  the  march  it  is  only  necessary  to  look  to  rhe  health  arid  comfort  of  the  troops, 
the  facility  of  the  coramunications,  tbe  convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the  resources 
in  provisions  and  forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  a  coun- 
try, or  one  designed  to  deceive  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of  the  army,  must  be 
selected   and  the  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in  view. 

4S.S.  The  camping-party  of  a  regiment  consists  of  the  regimenial  Quartermaster  and 
Quartermaster -Sergeant,  and  a  Corporal  and  two  men  per  company.     The  General  decide.s  ■ 
jpbether  the  regiments  camp  separately  or  together,  and  whether  tbe  police  guard  shall 
accompany  the  camping-pa' ty,  or  a  larger  escort  sliail  be  sent. 

489.  Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  the  camping-party. 

490.  When  the  Gl'^neral  can  send  in  advance  to  prepare  the  camp,  he  gives  his  instruc- 
tions to  the  chief  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  who  calls  on  the  regiments  for 
their  campina-parties,  and  is  accompanied,  if  necessary,  by  an  Engineer  to  propose  the 
defences  and  communications. 

491-  The  watering-ulaces  are  examined,  and  signals  placed  at  those  that  are  dangerous. 
Any  work  required  to  make  (hem  of  easier  access  is  done  by  the  police  guard  ov  Quarter- 
master's men.  Sentinels,  to  be  relieved  by  the  guards  of  the  regiment  wiien  tliey  come 
up.  are  placed,  by  the  camping-party,  over  the  water,  if  it  is  scarce,  and  over  the  houses 
and  <tores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping  party  does  not  precede  the  reiriment,  the  Quartermaster  attends 
to  these  things  as  soon  as  the  ret!;iment  reaches  the  camp. 

493.  On  reaching  the  ground,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color-front  ;  the  cavalry  in  rear 
of  its  camp. 

494  The  Generals  establish  the  troops  in  camp  as  rapidly  as  possible,  particularly  after 
long,  fittiguing:  marches. 

495.  Thtt  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  for  guards,  pickets,  and  orderlies;  tl  e  fatigue 
parties  to  be  sent  for  supplies  ;  the  work  to  be  done,  and  the  strength  of  the  working  par- 
ties;  the  time  and  place  for  issues  ;  the  hour  of  marching,  &c.,  are  then  announced  by  the 
Pii^'adier-Geiier.ils  to  the  Colonels,  and  by  th  m  to  the  field  offifcrs — the  Adjutant  and 
Captains  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Seriieants  taking  post  behind  their 
Captains.  The  Adjutant  then  makes  the  details,  and  tl)e  first.  Sergeants  warn  the  men. 
The  regimental  officer  of  the  day  forms  tlie  picket,  and  sends  the  guards  ti  their  posts. 
The  colors  are  then  planted  at  rhe  centre  of  •  he  color  line,  and  the  arms  are  stacke'^  on 
the  line  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  anri  the  woi  king  parties  fbim  in  the  rear 
of  the  arms  ;  the  men  not  on  detail  pitch  tlie  tents. 

49r)  If  the  camp  is  near  t!ie  enemy,  the  picket  remain>  under  arms  until  the  return  of 
the  fatiuue  parties,  and,  if  necessary,  is  reinforced  by  details  from  each  comiiany. 

497.  In  the  cavalry,  each  tr^op  moves  a  little  in  the  rear  of  the  point  at  which  its  horses 
are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank  ;  the  men  tlen  dismount.;  a  detail  is  made  to 
hold  the  horses  ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms  and  fix  the  picket  rope  ;  after  tbe  liorses  are  at- 
tended to,  the  tents  are  pitched,  and  each  horseman  places  his  carbine  at  the  side  from 
the  vveatlier,  and  hangs  his  sabre  and  bridle  on  it. 

49K-  The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the  Colonel. 

499.  The  terms  front,  flank,  risrht,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  same  meaning  when  ap- 
plied to  camps  as  to  the  or  ier  of  battle. 

50().  The  front  of  the  camp  is  nsnallv  equal  to  the  front  of  the  troops  The  tents  are 
arr;ul•^ed  in  rank*  and  files.  The  number  of  ranks  v:  ries  with  the  streButh  of  the  cora- 
panies  and  the  size  of  the  tents, 

501  No  offi.-er  will  be  allowed  to  occupy  a  house  n'thouirh  vacant  and  o'l  the  ground 
of  his  camp,  except  Ijy  permission  of  the  commander  of  the  brigade,  who  shall  report  it  to 
the  commander  of  the  division.  '

BIVOUACS. 

528.  A  regiment  of  cavalry  being  in  order  of  battle,  in  rear  of  the  ground  to  be  occupied, 
the  Colonel  breaks  it  by  platoons  to  the  I'iglit  The  horses  of  each  platoon  are  placed  in 
a  single  low.  and  f;istened  as  pre.sci ibed  for  CHmps;  near  the  enemy,  tiie}'  remain  saddled 
all  night,  with  slackem-il  giiths.  The  arms  are  at  first  stacked  in  rear  o!  eacli  row  of 
hors's  ;  the  sahi'es,  with  the  bridles  hung  on  them  are  placed  against  the  sta 'ks. 

529.  The  forage  is  placd  ou  the  right  of  each  row  of  horses.  Two  ht.ible-guards  for 
each  platoon  watch  the  horses. 

530.  A  file  f  )r  each  platoon  is  made  near  the  color  line,  20  paces  to  the  left  of  the  row 
oi  horses.  Ashel-er  is  made  for  the  men  around  the  fire,  if  possible,  and  each  man  then 
stands  tiis  arms  and  bridle  against  the  snelter. 

531.  Tiie  fires  and  shelter  for  the  officers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the  line  of  those  for  the 
mein. 

532.  The  intervals  between  the  squadrons  must  be  without  obstruction  throughout  the 
whole  depth  of  the  bivou;iC. 

533  The  interval  between  the  shelters  should  be  .such  that  the  platoons  can  t:ike  up  a 
line  of  battle   freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

534.  The  distance  fro'u  rhe  euem^  dec'de<  the  manner  in  which  the  horses  are  to  bo 
fed  an  i  led  to  water.  When  it  is  permitted  to  unsaddle,  the  saddles  are  placed  in  the 
rear  of  the  horses 

5'i^.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  color  line,  on  the  ground  that  would 
be  oc<'n])icd  by  the  tents  in  camp.  The  comp  nies  are  placed  around  them,  and,  if  pos- 
sible, con-truct  sh'lteis.  When  liable  to  surpiise,  the  infantry  should  stand  to  amis  at 
daylire.ik,  and  the  cavalry  mount  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoitering  parties.  If  the 
arms  are  to  be  taken  ap.irt  to  clean,  it  must  be  done  by  detachments,  successively. 


CANTONMENTS,  HEADQUARTERS,  &c.  43 

CANTONMENTS. 

.'•36.  The  cavalry  sLould  be  placed  uiKJer  shelter  whenever  the  distance  from  the  ene- 
my, and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  arc  to  form  for  battle,  permit  it.  Taverns  and 
farm-lionses,  with  hirsrc  stables  and  freo  access,  are  selecte  i  for  qnarterim;  tl  em. 
,537.  The  Colonel  indicates  tlie  place  of  a"#eml)lin,?  in  ca^e  of  alaim.  It  should  gener- 
ally be  outside  the  cantonment ;  the  f  gross  from  it  should  be  free,  the  rttrijit  n[ion  the 
other  positions  secure,  and  road>  leading  to  it  on  tl'C  side  of  the  cneinv  obstrnctrd. 

538.  TLie  necissary  orders  being  given,  as  in  establishing  a  en  nip,  the  picket  and  grand 
guards  are  posted.  A  sentinel  mav  bo  placed  on  a  steeple  or  higii  house,  and  tlicn  the 
troops  are  marched  to  the  quarters.  Che  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought 
uocessa'-y. 

539.  Tiie  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.  Near  tbe  enemy,  companies  or  pla- 
toons should  be  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  the  same  houses.  If  companies  tnust  be 
separated,  they  should  be  divided  by  platoon's  or  squads.     All  t;ike  aims  at  d:iY-bre;ik. 

540.  V^hen  cavalrv  and  infantry  canton  together,  the  latter  furnish  the  guards  by  night 
and  the  ft)i  mer  by  day. 

541.  Troops  cuntoncd  in  presence  of  the  enemy,  should  be  covered  by  advanced  guards  and 
natural  or  artificial  obstacles.  Cantonments  taken  during  a  <ess!i<ion  i>1  ho.siiliiies,  should 
be  established  in  rear  of  a  li'ie  of  defence,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  tntojis  would 
concentrate  to  receive  an  attack.  The  General  conimanding-in  chief  assigns  ti  e  limits  of 
their  cantonments  to  the  divisions,  the  coniinr.ndcis  of  divisions  to  brigades,  and  tl:e  com- 
mandt^rs  of  brigades  post  their  regiments.  Ihe  position  for  each  corps  in  case  o(  att;  ck  is 
carefully  pointed  out  by  the  Generals. 

HEAnQUARTERS. 

542.  Generals  take  post  at  the  centre  of  the'r  commands,  on  tbe  m-iin  channels  of  c(  mmu- 
nication.     If  troops  bivouac  in  presence  of  the  enemy,  the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MII.ITARV    EXKRCISKS. 


543.  When  troops  remain  in  camp  or  cantonment  man}'  days,  the  Colonels  re(|uirf  them 
to  be  exercised  in  the  school  of  tlic  battalion  «nd  squadron.     Regiments  and    brigades  eu- 


544.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  scaled  nrder>  nri-  carried  by  officers,  and, 
if  possible,  by  staff  ttffici  rs,  When  orde-s  sue  carried  by  oidirlies,  ti  e  jdace  anu  time  of 
departure  will  be  marked  on  them,  and  place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receijit. 

DIsrATClIF.S. 

545.  Dispatches,  partiru'arly  for  distant  coips.  should  be  e.itrusted  tmly  to  officers  to 
whom  their  contents  can  be  confided.  In  a  country  occu|)ied  by  the  enemy,  tiie  bt-aierol 
dispatches  should  by  accompanied  by  at  least  two  of  the  best  nounted  uiei  ;  shoid^  avoid 
towns  and  villager,  and  the  main  roads  ;  r.st  as  little  as  poss  ble.  and  only  at  out-o(-i  I  v  way 
places.  VVliere  there  is  (Linger,  he  should  send  one  of  the  men  in  advance,  and  bo  alwavs 
ready  to  destroy  his  dispatclies.  He  should  be  adroit  in  an.svveiing  questioi..s  about  tiic 
army,  and  not  be  intimidated  by  thieats. 

WA  I  CH  WORDS. 

540.  The  parole  and  countersign  are  iss.i.d  daily  from  the  princijial  hen'lqnai  t.rs  of  the 
command.  The  coiintc  r-i^'U  is  given  to  the  .sentinels  and  non-couimi.ssioncl  oflicrs  o(  the 
guards;  theparoU-  to  the  coinmissionefl  offic»rs  of  guards.  The  parole  isusuady  the  numo 
C'f  a  General  ;  the  countersign  of  a  battle. 


41  ISSUES,  THE  ROSTER,  &c. 

547.  When  the  parole  and  countersign  cannot  be  coiimuni«;ated  daily  to  a  post  or  de- 
tachment ;vhich  oticht  to  use  the  same  as  the  main  body,  a  series  of  words  may  be  sent  for 
some  da\  s  in  advance. 

548.  If  1  lie  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  of  the  guarl  deserts  with  it,  the  commander  on 
the  spot  will  substitute  another,  and  report  the  case  «.t  once  to  the  proper  superior,  that 
immediate  notice  may  be  given  to  headquartm-s. 


549.  At  what  time  and  for  what  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend  on  circumstances, 
and  1)6  regulated  in  orders.  When  an  army  is  not^pnovinp',  rations  are  generally  issued  for 
four  days  at  a  time.  Issues  to  the  rompani-'s  of  a  regiment,  and  the  fatigues  to  receive 
them,  ace  superintended  by  an  officer  detailed  from  the  resriment.  Issues  are  made  from 
one  end  of  the  line  to  the  other,  tieginning  on  the  right  and  left  alternately.  An  issue 
couimeneed  on  one  regiment  will  not  be  interrupted  for  another  entitled  to  precedence  if 
it  had  been  in  place. 

THE    ROSTER,    OR    DETAILS    FOR    SERVTCE.

In  the  cavalry,  stahle-gu.jrds  form  a  sepnrate  roster,  and  coinit  before  fatigue. 

551.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each  cIhss.  Officers  are  named  on  them  in  the  order  of 
rank.     The  details  are  taken  in  succession  in  the  order  of  the  roster,  beginning  at  the  liead. 

552.  Lieutenants  form  o  le  roster,  and  fir-t  ai-id  second  Lieutenants  are  entered  on  it

tinels, or  an  ulterior  guard  has  reached  its  post,  the  offi  er  whose  tour  it  was  cannot  then 
take  it.  He  takes  the  tour  of  the  officer  who  has  taken  his.  When  an  officer  is  preven-

POLICE    GUARD. 

561.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  everyday,  consisting  of  two  Sergeants, 
three  Corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men  enough  to  furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  pa- 
trols. The  men  are  taken  from  all  the  companies,  from  eacli  in  proportion  to  its  strength. 
The  guard  is  commanded  l>y  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,  as  regimen-

562.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed  of  a  Sergeant,  a 
Corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  fi^rnish  sentinels  and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners. 
The  men  are  first  of  the  piuard  roster  from  cacj  company.  The  men  of  the  advanced  jjost 
must  not  leave  it  under  any  pretext.  Their  meals  are  sent  to  the  post.  The  advanced 
post  furnishes  three  sentinels  ;  two  a  few  paces  in  frcmt  of  the  post,  opposite  the  right  and 
left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted  so  as  to  see  as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over 
the  arms. 

563.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men  are  employed  in  preference  on  the  police  guard. 
The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succe-ssion,  a  p;irt  at  a  time,  to  groom  their  horses. 
The  advanced  post  is  always  formed  of  mounted  men. 

504  In  each  Company,  a  Corporal  has  charge  of  the  stable-guai-d.  His  tour  begins  at 
retreat,  and  ends  at  morning  stable-call.  The  stablc-fruard  is  large  enough  to  relieve  the 
men  on  post  every  two  hours.  Tliey  sleop  in  their  tents,  and  are  called  by  the  Corporal 
when  wanted.  At  retreat  he  closes  the  streets  of  the  camp  with  cords,  or  uses  other  pre- 
cautions to  prevent  the  escape  of  loose  horses. 

565.  The  offirer  of  the  day  is  cliargod  with  the  order  and  cleanlinesss  of  the  camp;  a 
fatigue  is  furnished  to  him  when  the  number  of  prisoners  is  insufficient  to  clean  the  camp, 
lie  has  the  calls  beaten  by  the  drummer  of  the  guard. 

5G6  The  police  guard  and  the  advanced  post  pay  the  same  honors  as  other  guards. 
They  take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

567.  The  sentinel  over  the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  theiji  to  be  moved,  except  in 
presence  of  an  escort ;  to  let  no  one  touch  them  but  the  color  bearer,  or  the  Sergeant  of 
the  police  guard,  when  he  is  accompanied  bj-  two  armed  men. 

568.  The  sentinels  on  the  color  front  permit  no  soldier  to  take  arms  from  the  stacks, 
except  by  order  of  some  oflicer,  or  a  non  commissioned  officer  of  the  guard.  The  sentinel 
at  the  Colonel's  tent  has  orders  to  warn  him,  day  or  night,  of  any  unusual  movement  in 
or  about  the  camp. 

56 J.  The  sentinels  on  tho  front,  flanks,  and  rear,  see  that  no  soldier  leave.s  camp  with 
horse  or  arm^.  unless  conducted  by  a  non-conunissioned  olDcer.  They  prevent  non-com- 
miss'oncd  offl'^ers  and  soldiers  from  passing  out  at  niirht,  except  to  po  to  the  sinks,  and 
mark  if  they  return.  They  arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  persons  prowling  aboiit  the 
cnmp;  and  at  nigi;t,  every  one  who  attempts  to  enter,  even  the  soldiers  of  other  corps. 
Arre->ted  persons  are  sent  to  the  olTicer  of  the  guard,  who  sends  then,  if  nece.ssary,  to  tho 
officer  of  the  ilay. 

570.  The  sent  ncl-'  on  the  front  of  the  advanced  post  have  orders  to  permit  neith^'r  non- 
commissioned officers  or  soldiers  to  pass  the  line,  without  reporting  at  the  advanced  post ; 
to  warn  the  advanced  post  of  the  approach  of  anv  armed  body,  and  to  arrest  all  suspicious 
persons.  The  ScrKcant  send.->  persons  so  .nrrestod  t^o  the  officer  of  the  cuard,  and  warns 
him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body. 

571.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the  prisoner?-:  and  keepa 
sight  of  them,  and  suffers  m  one  to  converse  with  them  without  pcrmis.sion.  They  are 
only  permitted  to  go  to  the  sinks  one  at  a  time,  and  under  a  sentinel. 

572.  If  any  one  i-<  to  be  passed  out  of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of  the  guard  sends  him 
under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  Sergeant  of  the  pu-t  has  him  pa=sed  over  tbo 
chain. 


46  POLICE  GUARD. 

573.  At  ret.reat.,  the  officer  ot  the  g;uard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard  called,  and  inspects 
arms  to  s<e  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order  ;  and  yisits  the  advanced  posts  for  the  same 
parpose.  TLe  Sergeant  of  tlie  police  guard,  accompanied  by  tvFO  armed  soldiers,  folds  the 
colors  and  lays  tliein  on  the  trestle  in  rear  ol  the  arms.  He  sees  that  the  sutler's 
stores  are  closed,  and  the  men  leave  them,  and  that  the'kitcben  fires  are  put  out  at  the  ap- 
pointed hour. 

ST-!.  The  officer  of  the  day  satisfies  himself  frequently  during  the  night  of  the  vigilance 
of  the  police  guard  and  advanced  post.  He  prescribes  patrols  and  roun'is  to  be  made  by 
the  officer  and  non-comraissioned  officers  of  the  guard.  The  officer  of  the  guard  orders 
them  when  lie  thinks  necessar^r.     He  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

575.  At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms  ;  the  officer  of  the  guard  inspects  it  and 
the  advai  ced  post.  The  Sergeant  re-plants  the  colors  in  place.  At  retreat  and  reveille 
the  advanced  post  takes  arms  ;  the  Sergeant  makes  his  report  to  the  officer  of  the  guard 
when  he  vi>it>  the  post. 

576.  When  neces-ary,  the  camp  is  covered  at  night  with  small  outposts,  forming  a 
double  chain  of  sentinels.  These  posts  are  under  the  orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police 
guard,  aid  are  visited  by  his  patrols  and  rounds. 

577.  The  officer  of  the  guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service,  including  the  ad- 
vanced po.^t.  and  sends  it,  alter  the  guard  is  marched  off,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

578.  When  the  regimewt  marches,  the  men  of  the  police  guard  retui  n  to  their  compa- 
nies, except  tLosc  of  the  advanced  post.  In  the  cavalry,  at  the  sound  "  boot  and  saddle," 
the  officer  oi  the  guard  S8nds  one  half  the  men  to  saddle  and  pack:  when  the  regiment 
assembles,  all  the  men  join  it. 

579.  When  the  camping  party  precedes  the  regiment,  and  the  new  police  guard  marches 
with  the  camping-party,  the  guard,  on  reaching  the  camp,  forms  in  line  thirty  paces  in 
front  of  the  centre  of  the  ground  marked  for  the  regiment.  The  officer  of  the  guard  fur- 
uishes  the  -entinels  required  by  the  commander  of  the  camping  party. 

The  advanced  f  ost  takes  its  station. 

58l).  The  adranced  post  of  the  old  police  guard  takes  charg-^  of  the  prisoners  on  the 
march,  and  marches,  bayonets  fixed,  at  the  eentre  of  the  regiment.  On  reaching  the 
camp,  it  turns  over  the  prisoners  to  the  new  advanced  post. 

581.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  the  details  for  duty  of  first  class,  and 
from  tiie  next  for  detail  on  the  roster  of  that  class.  It  is  designed  to  lurnish  detachments 
and  guards  unexpectedly  called  for  in  the  twenty-four  hours:  it  counts  as  a  tour  of  the 
first  class  to  those  who  have  marched  on  detachment  or  guard,  or  who  have  passed  the 
night  in  bivouac. 

582.  Tiie  oflicers.  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  the  pickft,  are  at  all  times 
dressed  and  equipped  j  the  horses  are  saddled,  and  knapsacks  and  valises  ready  to  be 
put  on. 

583.  Detachmeats  and  guards  from  the  picket  are  taken  from  the  head  of  the  picket 
roll  in  each  company,  and,  if  possible,  equally  from  each  company.  The  picket  of  a  regi- 
ment is  composed  of  a  Lieutenant,  two  Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  a  drummer,  and  about 
forty  privates.  For  a  smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  the  de- 
tachment. 

584.  Officers  and  men  of  the  picket  who  march  on  detachment  or  guard  before  retreat, 
will  be  replaced. 

585.  The  picket  is  assembled  by  the  Adjutant  at  guard  mounting ;  it  is  posted  twelve 
paces  in  rlie  rear  of  the  guard,  and  is  inspected  by  its  own  commander.  When  the  guard 
has  maiched  in  review,  the  commandant  of  the  picket  marches  it  to  the  left  ol  the  police 
guard,  where  it  stacks  its  arms,  and  is  dismissed ;  the  arms  are  under  charge  of  the  senti- 
nel o'  the  police  guard. 

586.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or  officer  of  the  day. 
It  forms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

587.  The  cilncer  of  the  day  requires  the  roll  of  the  picket  to  be  called  frequently  daring 
the  day;  the  call  is  sounded  from  the  police  guard.  At  roll-calls  and  inspection.',  infantry 
pickets  assemble  with  knapsacks  on ;  cavalry  on  foot.  The  picket  is'asseuibled  at  retreat; 
the  officer  hasHLhe  roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.  The  pickets  sleep  in  their  tents,  but 
without  undressing. 

588.  The  picket  does  not  assemble  at  night  except  in  cases  of  alarm,  or  when  the  whole 
or  a  part  is  to  march ;  then  the  officer  of  the  day  calls  the  officers,  the  latter  the  non- 
commissioned officers,  and  these  the  men;  for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of 


GRAND  GUARDS  AND  OTHER  OUTPOSTS.  •         47 

tbose  he  is  to  call.     They  are  assembled  without  beat  of  drum  or  otacr  noise.     At  night 
cavalry  pickets  a  semble  muunted. 

589.  Pickets  rejoin  their  companies  whenever  the  regiment  is  under  arins  for  revic>v 
drill,  marcli'or  battle. 

GRAND    GUAR[S    AND    OTHER    OUTPOSTS. 

590.  Grand  ciiiards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  a  cann  or  cantonment,  and  should  cover 
the  approaches  to  it.  Their  number,  strwr.gth  and  position  are  regulated  bv  the  com- 
manders  of  bri;rade<;  in  detached  corp<,  by  the  coniinanding  oflicer.  When  it  can  be  the 
grand  guards  of  c;iva!ry  and  infantry  arc  conibmed,  the  cavalry  fuini'shinc  the  advanced 
sentinels.  AN  lien  the  cavalry  is  weak,  the  grand  guards  are  infantry,  but  furnished  with  a 
few  cavalry  .soldiers,  to  get  and  carry  inte!li<ience  of  the  enemy. 

591.  The  strenuth  of  a  grand  gu?.rd  of  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its  objoct  and  the 
.strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  the  country,  the  position  of  the  en^j'  and  the 
dispo'^idon  of  the  inhabitants.     It  is  usually  coninianded  by  a  Captain. 

592  Under  the  supervisions  of  the  Generals  of  Divi.sion  and  Brigade,  the  grand  guards 
are  speciidly  luider  the  direction  of  a  field  officii  of  the  day  in  each  briirade.  In  case  of 
necessity,  Captains  may  be  added  to  the  roster  of  Lieutenant-Colouols  and  Majors  for  this 
detail.  * 

593.  Staff  officers  sent  from  division  headquarters  to  inspeet  the  posts  of  grand  guards, 
give  tliem  orders  only  in  urgent  cases,  and  in  the  absence  of  the  field  oflBcer  of  the  day  of 
the  brigade. 

594.  Grand  guards  usually  mount  at  the  same  time  as  the  other  guards,  but  may  mount 
before  daybreak  if  the  (Jeneral  of  Brigade  thinks  it  neces.sary  to  double  the  outposts  at 
that  time.  In  this  case  they  assemble  and  march  without  noise,  and  during  their  march 
throw  out  scouts.  This  precaution  sh<nild  always  be  taken  in  the  first  posting  of  a  grand 
guard.  The  doubling  of  guards  weaken.'^  the  •lorps  and  fatigues  the  men,  and  shoald  sel- 
dom be  resorted  to,  and  never  when  prepaiing  to  march  or  fight. 

595  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  tlie  first  instance,  by  the  field  oflBcer  of 
the  dav,  guided  by  »  staff  officer  who  accompanied  the  General  in  his  reconnoisance. 
After  the  post  has  been  estaf)lished,  the  commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  dav 
when  necessary,  a  soldier  of  the  guard  to  guide  the  relieving  guard  to  the  po>t.  He  also 
vsends  to  him  in  the  evening  a  Corporal  or  trusty  man  of  the  guard  for  the  note  containin"- 
tl^  parole  and  countersign,  and  .sends  them  before  dark  to  the  detachei  posts.  He  will 
not  suff  T  his  guard  to  be  relieved  except   by  a  yruard  of  the  biigade,  or  by  special  orders. 

596.  If  there  is  no  pass  to  be  observed  or  defended,  the  grand  guards  are  placed  near 
the  centre  of  the  ground  they  are  to  observe,  on  sheltered,  and,  if  possible,  high  "round, 
the  better  to  conceal  their  strength  and  observe  the  enemy.  They  ought  not  to  be  placed 
near  the  edge  of  a  wood.  When,  during  the  day,  they  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of 
the  enemy,  they  fall  back  at  night  on  post.s  selected  farther  to  the  rear. 

597.  In  broken  or  in  mountainous  couniries.  and  part-cularly  if  the  inhabitants  are  ill- 
disposed,  intei mediate  po-ts  must  be  established  when  it  is  necessary  to  post  the  grand 
guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

598.  <>'r.and  guards  are  chiefiy  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front;  th'eir  flanks  are  protected 
by  each  other,  and  the  camps  must  furnish  posts  to  protect  their  rear  and  secure  their 
retreat. 

599.  Grand  guards  are  seldom  intrenched,  and  never  without  the  orders  of  the  General, 
except  by  a  liarricade  or  ditch,  when  exposed,  in  a  plain,  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

t'.OO.  The  (leneral  of  Division,  if  he  tliinks  proper,  ch;inges  the  stations  and  orders  of 
these  guards,  and  estMbliNhes   posts  to  ronqect  the  biigades  or  jirotect  the  exteri  )r  flanks. 

TiOl.  After  a  grand  guard  is  ported,  the  first  care  of  the  commander  and  of  the  field 
officer  of  the  day  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemv;  then  to  reconnoitre  his  position,  and  th»? 
roads,  bridges,  fords,  and  defiles.  This  reconnoisrince  determines  the  force  and  position  of 
the  small  posts,  anti  their  sentinels,  day  and  night.  These  post.s,  according  to  their  im- 
portance, are  commanded  by  officers  or  non-commissioned  officers.  The  cavalry  posts 
may  be  relieved  every  four  or  eight  hours.  • 

002.  The  commander  of  a  grind  guard  receives  detailed  instructions  from  the  general 
and  field  ofiicer  of  the  day  rf  the  brigade,  and  instructs  the  commanders  of  the  small 
posts  as  to  their  duties,  and  the  arrangements  (or  the  defence  or  retreat.  1  he  command- 
ers of  grand  guards  may,  in  urgent  cases,  change  the  positions  of  the  small  po«t«.  If  the 
small  posts  arc  to  change  their  positions  at  night,  they  wait  until  the  grand  guard  have 


48  GRAND  GUARDS  AND  OTHER  OUTPOSTS. 

'^ot  into  position,  and  darkness  hides  their  movements  from  the  enemy;  then  march  silently 
anil  rapil}'  under  the  charge  of  an  officer. 

t)03.  In  detnched  corps,  small  posts  of  picked  men  are  at  nighf  sent  forward  on  the 
roads  by  whicli  the  enemy  may  attack  or  turn  the  position.  They  watch  the  furks  of  the 
roads,  kst'p  silence,  cowccal  themselves,  light  no  fires,  and  often  change  place.-  They 
announce  the  appro.ich  of  the  enemy  by  signa's  agreed  upon,  and  retreat,  by  rjutes  exam- 
ined durmg  the  day,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at  daybreak. 

604;  Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case,  and  the  following  in  all  cases:  To 
inform  the  nearest  posts  and  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  or  the  General  of  Brigade,  of  the 
march  ai.d  movements  of  the  enemy,  and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear;  to  examine 
everv  person  passing  near  the  post,  particularlv  those  coming  from  without;  to  arrest  sus- 
picious persons,  and  all  soldiers  and  camp-tbliowers  who  try  to  pass  out  without  permission, 
and  to  send  to  the  General,  unless  otherwise  directed,  sdl  country  people  who  come  in. 

605.  All  out-guards  stand  to  arms  at  night  on  the  approach  of  patrols,  rounds,  or  other 
parties:  the  .sentinel  .iver  the  arms  has  orders  to  call  them  out. 

60G.  Advanced  posts  will  not  take  arms  for  inspection  or  ceremony  when  it  would  ex- 
IX)se  tbem  to  the  view  of  the  enemy. 

607.  Grand  guards  are  often  charged  with  the  care  and  working  of  telegraphic  signals. 

G08.  The  sentinels  and  videttes  are  placed  on  points  from  which  they  can  see  farthest, 
taking  care  not  to  break  their  connection  with  each  other  or  with  their  posts.  Tiiey  are 
concealed  from  the  enemy  as  much  as  possible  b}'^  walls,  or  trees,  or  elevated  gror.nd.  It 
is  generally  even  of  more  advantage  not  to  be  seen  than  to  see  far.  They  should  not  be 
placed  near  cover,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

609.  A 'sentinel  should  always  be  ready  to  fire:  videttes  carry  their  pistols  or  carbines 
in  their  hands.  A  sentinel  must  be  sure  of  the  presence  of  an  enemy  before  he  fires: 
once  satisfied  of  that,  he  must  fire,  though  all  defense  on  his  part  be  useless,  as  the 
safety  of  the  post  may  depend  on  it.     Sentinels  fire  on  all  persons  deserting  to  the  enemy. 

610.  If  the  [lost  must  be  where  a  sentinel  on  it  can  not  communicate  with  the  guard,  a 
corporal  and  three  men  are  detached  for  it,  or  the  sentinels  are  doubled,  that  one  may 
communicale  with  the  guard.  During  the  day  the  communication  may  be  made  by  sig- 
nals, such  as  raising  a  cap  or  handkerchief.  At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low  ground, 
the  better  to  see  objects  against  the  sky. 

611.  To  lessen  the  duty  of  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert  at  night,  sentinels 
are  relieved  every  hour.  To  prevent  sentinels  from  being  surprised,  it  is  sometimes  well 
to  precede  the  countersign  by  signals,  such  as  striking  the  musket  with  the  hand,  stijiking 
the  hands  together,  &c. 

012.  On  the  approach  of  any  one  at  night,  the  sentinel  orders — "i/aZi.'"  If  the  order 
is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  he  fires.  If  obeyed,  he  ca^is  —  ^' Wh  >  goes  there?''''  If 
answered  —  '■'■  Rounds"  or  •'■Patrol^'''  he  says  —  ^'■Advance  wUh  the  cowtte7-sigu."  If  more 
than  ( ne  advance  at  the  same  time,  or  the  person  who  advances  fails  to  give  the  counter- 
sign or  signal  agreed  on,  the  sentinel  fires,  and  falls  back  on  his  guard.  The  sentinel  over 
the  arms,  as  soon  PS  his  hail  is  answered,  turns  out  the  guard,  and  the  Corporal  goes  to 
jeconnoitre.  When  it  is  desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  sentinel  from  the  enemy, 
the  hail  is  replaced  by  signals :  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those  approaching  the 
c  junter  signal. 

613.  With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are  numerous  or  active, 
and  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  night  stormy  or  dark,  sentinels  should  be 
doubled.  In  this  case,  while  one  watches,  the  other  called  a  flying  sentinel,  moves  about, 
examining  the  paths  and  hollows. 

614.  Ihe  Cduimandantg  of  grand  guards  visit  the  sentinels  often  ;  change  their  positions 
when  neces-ary  ;  make  tnem  i-epeat  their /)rders ;  teach  them  under  what  circumstances 
and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  and  particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  on  their  guard  if 
pursued,  but  to  lead  the  enemy  in  a  circuit. 

615.  At  night,  half  tke  men  of  the  grand  guard  off  post  watch  under  arms,  while  the 
rest  lie  down,  arms  by  their  side.  The  horses  are  always  bridled:  the  horsemen  hold  the 
reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

610  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is  so  placed  as  not  to  be  liable  to  a  sudden  attack 
from  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses  to  be  fed  during  the  night,  unbridling 
for  this  pbrpose  a  few  at  a  time :  the  horsemen  being  vigilant  to  prevent  them  from 
e  caping. 

017.  An  hour  before  break  of  day,  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to  arms,  and  cavalry

mount.     At  the  advanced  posts,  some  of  the  infantry  are  all  night  under  arms  ;  some  of 
the  cavalry  on  horseback. 

(jl8.  The  co:iiiriandei-  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the  hours,  and  the  march 
of  patrols  and  rounds,  accord, ng  to  clie  strength  of  his  troop  and  the  necessity  for  precau- 
tion; and.  acompjinicd  b)'  those  wiio  are  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the 
nieht,  he  will  reconnoitre  :ill  tlie  routes  they  are  to  follow. 

019.  Patrols  iiiii  rounds  march  .slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great  precaution  —  halt  fre- 
qiientl}'  to  listen,  and  examine  the  ground.  The  rounds  consist  ot  an  officer  or  nou- 
eommissi.ined  officer,  and  two  or  three  men. 

020.  Toward  tiie  break  of  day  the  patrols  ought  to  be  more  frequent,  and  sent  to  greater 
distances.  They  examine  the  hollow-ways,  and  ground  likely  to  conceal  au  enemy,  but 
with  great  caution,  to  avoid  being  cut  oft',  or  enjiaged  in  an  unecjual  combat;  if  they  meet 
the  eneuiy,  the}'  lire  and  attempt  to  stop  his  march.  While  tJi ;  patrols  are  out  the  posts 
are  under  arms. 

(521.  Cavalry  patrols  should  examine  the  country  to  a  greater  distance  than  infantry, 
and  report  to  the  infantr}'  guard  every  thing  they  observe.  The  morning  patrols  and 
scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  daylight  ;  and  wlieu  they  return,  the  night  sentinels  are 
withdrawn,  and  the  posts  for  the  day  resumed. 

022-  When  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  posts,  the  posts  and  sentinels  should 
be  warned. 

r)2o.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patr«ls  report  in  regard  to  the  ground  and  every 
tbi  is:  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  the  enemj-,  or  of  his  posts,  and  the  coiu- 
munda  it  of  the  grand  guard  reiKiits  to  the  Held  .officer  of  the  daj'. 

024.  The  fires  of  the  grand  guards  should  be  hidden  by  a  wall,  or  ditch  or  other  screen. 
To  deceive  the  enemy,  tires  are  sometimes  male  ou  ground  not  occupied.  Fires  are  not 
permitted  at  small  posts  liable  to  surprise. 

025.  The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments  ;  during  which 
the  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

026  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless  their  arrival  has 
been  announced,  or  the  commander  is  known  to,  or  is  the  bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the 
commander  of  the  grand  guards,  he  stops  them,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to 
the  fn  Id  officer  of  the  day,  and  warns  the  post  near  him. 

627.  Bearers  of  Hags  are  not  permitted  to  pass  the  outer  chain  of  sentinels;  tkeir  fares 
are  turned  from  the  post  of  army  ;  if  necessary  their  eyes  are  bandaged  ;  a  uon-ommis- 
sioned  o'Ticer  stays  with  them  to  prevent  iiulisorotiun  of  the  sentinels. 

628.  The  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and  sends  them  to  the 
field  officer  of  the  day  or  General  of  Brigade,  and  dismisses  tiie  bearer;  but  if  he  has  dis- 
covered what  ougiit  to  V'C  concealed  from  the  enemy,  he  is  detainud  as  long  as  necessary. 

629.  Deserters  are  disarmed  at  the  advanced  posts,  and  sent  to  the  commander  of  ti.e 
grand  guard,  who  gets  from  them  all  the  information  he  can  concerning  his  post.  If  many 
come  at  nia;ht  they  are  received  cantitjiishj,  a  far  at  a  time.  They  are  sent  in  the  morning 
to  the  held  officer  of  tiie  day,  or  to  the  nearest  post  or  camp,  to  be  conducted  to  the  tien- 
eral  of  the  brigade.     All  suspected  per.sons  are  searched  by  commanders  ol  the  posts. 

630.  Wiien  an  enemy  advances  to  an  attack,  unless  be  is  in  too  great  force,  or  the  grand 
guard  is  to  defend  an  intrenched  post  or  a  defile,  it  will  take  positions  and  execnte  the 
movements  to  check  the  enemy,  acting  as  skirmishers,  or  fighting  in  close  or  open  orc'er 
as  may  be  best.     The  fjuard  joins  its  corps  when  in  line,  or   when  a  suflicient  number  of 
troops  have  reached  the  ground  it  defends. 

ENTUENCIIKD     POSTS. 

631.  Unless  the  array  be  acting  on  the  defensive,  no  po.st  should  be  intrenched,  except  to 
cover  the  weak  parts  of  the  line,  or  at  points  which  the  enemy  cannot  avoid,  or  in  moun- 
tain warfare,  or  to  the  close  of  a  defile,  or  to  cover  winter  quarters. 

632.  Posts  connected  with  the  operation.-'  of  an  army  are  intrenched  onlj*  by  order  of 
the  General  coinmandirg-in-chief  or  a  (ieneralof  Division. 

6.33.  Any  intrenchment  that  rei^uires  artillery  i.s  considered  as  a  post,  and  a  guard  or 
garrison  and  commander  are  assipned  to  it. 

6.'J4.  The  Genera!  who  establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to  its  commander  detailed 
incttructions  in  regard  to  its  defense,  aud  the  circumstances  under  which  the  defense  should 
cea.se. 

635.  The  commander  reconnoitres  bis  post;  Jistributcs  the  troops;  post  the  officers  and

enemy. 

DKTACHMKNTS. 

637.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  tbe  different  regiments  of  a  brigade,  the 
Assistant  Adjutant- General  of  tbe  brigado  nssembigs  it,  and  turns  it  over  to  the  coni- 
mandor. 

638.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  different  brigades,  the  Assistant  Adjiitant- 
Ueneral  in  each,  forms  the  contingent  of  tbe  brigade,  and  sends  it  to  the  pbice  of  assembling. 

639  Detachments  are  general!}'  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squadrons,  companies, 
platoons  in  turn,  according  to  tbe  roster  for  such  detail. 

640.  "When  the  detachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  ef  cry  company  or  troop,  the  first 
on  the  roter  for  guard  are  taken. 

641.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers,  whose  tour  it  is  to  go  on  detach- 
ment, if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  are  relieved  from  the  duty  they  are  on,  if  they 
can  reach  the  camp  in  time  to  march  with  the  detachment. 

642.  When  detachments  meet,  the  command  is  regulated  while  they  serve  together  as  if 
they  formed  one  detachment.  But  tbe  senior  officers  cannot  prevent  the  commander  of 
any  detachment  ifrom  moving,  when  he  thinks  proper,  to  execute  the  orders  he  has  re- 
ceived. 

643.  On  the  retnrn  of  a  detachment,  the  commander  reports  to  the  head-quarters  from 
which  he  received  his  orders. 

RECOKNOISANCES. 

644.  Near  an  enerav,  daily  reconnoisances  are  made  to  observe  the  ground  in  front,  and 
to  discover  whether  the  advanced  guards  of  the  eneny  have  been  increased  or  put  in  mo- 
tion, or  any  other  sign  of  his  preparation  for  march  or  action. 

64r>.  They  are  made  by  small  parties  of  cavahy  and  infantry,  from  the  brigade,  under 
direction  of  tbe  Qciseral  of  Division  or  tho  General  of  a  separate  brigade,  and  to  less  dis- 
tance by  the  pastoral  of  tbe  grand  guard,  aixl  are  not  repeated  at  tbe  same  hour  or  by 
tbe  same  route.  On  ti;e  plain,  reconnoisances  are  made  by  cavalry  ;  among  mountains,  by 
infantry,  with  a  few  hor.-emen  to  carry  intelligence. 

646.  Keconnoitering  parties  observe  the  following  precautions:  to  leave  small  posts,  or 
sentinels  at  inteivals,  to  transmit  intelligence  to  the  advanced  posts  of  an  army,  unless  tbe 
return  is  to  be  by  a  different  route:  to  march  with  caution,  to  avoid  dghting  ;  and  see,  if 
possible,  witi)out  being  seen ;  Co  keep  an  advanced  guard;  to  send  well  mounted  men 
ahead  of  the  advanced  guard  ;  and  on  the  ilank  of  the  party  ;  to  instruct  the  scouts  that 
no  two  should  enter  a  defile  or  mount  a  hill  together,  but  to  go  o  le  at  a  time,  while  one 
watclies  to  carry  tbe  news  if  the  other  is  taken. 

047.  Before  daybre'-ik  tho  advanced  guard  and  scouts  are  drawn  clo-er ;  tjie  party  then 
march  slowly  and  silently,  stop  frequently  to  listen,  and  keep  the  horses  that  neigh  in  tbe 
rear.  The  party  should  enter  no  wood,  defile,  village,  or  inclosurc,  until  it  has  been  fully 
examined  by  the  scouts. 

648.  Special  reconnoisances  are  made  nnder  the  instruction  of  the  General  in  command, 
by  8iich  officers  and  witli  such  force  as  be  may  direct. 

649.  Offensive  or  forced  reconnoisances  are  to  ascertain  with  certainty  points  in  the  en- 
emy's position,  or  bis  strength.  They  are  sometimes  preludes  to  real  actions,  and  some- 
times only  demonstrations.  'J  hey  drive  in  bis  outposts;  and  sometimes  engage  special 
corps  of  his  line.  They  are  only  made  by  order  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief,  or 
the  commander  of  an  isolated  corps. 

650.  In  all  reports  of  reconnoisances,  the  officer  making  them  shall  distinguish  expressly 


PARTISANS  AND  FLANKERS.  61 

what  be  has  seen  from  the  accounts  he  has  not  been  able  to  verify  personally. 

651.  In  !?pecial  and  olleiisive  rccoiinoisances,  the  report  must  be  accompanied  by  a  field- 
sketch  of  the  localities,  the  dispositions  and  defences  of  the  enemy. 

PARTISANS    AND    FLANKERS 

652,  The  operations  of  partisan  corps  depend  on  the  nature  and  theatre  of  the  wa"* ;  they 
enter  into  the  p^ereral  plan  of  operations,  and  are  conducted  under  the  orders  of  the  Gen- 
eral C()inmandin<i-in-chii'f. 

053.  The  composition  and  strength  of  partisan  corps  and  detachment  of  flankers  depend 
on  the  oltject,  the  difficulties,  the  distance,  and  the  i)robable  time  of  the  expedition. 

654.  The  purpose  of  these  isolated  corps  is  to  reconnoitre  at  a  distance  on  the  flanks  of 
the  army,  to  protect  its  operations,  to  deceive  tlie  enemy,  to  interrupt  his  communications, 
to  intercept  his  couriers  and  his  correspondence,  to  threaten  or  destroy  his  mapi/ines,  to 
cairj-  off  his  posts  and  his  convoys,  or,  at  all  events,  to  retard  his  march  by  making  him 
detach  Inrgely  tor  their  protection. 

655.  While  these  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  and  embarrass  his  operation",  they  endeavor 
to  inspire  confitlence  and  secure  tlio  f^ood  will  of  the  inhabitants  in  a  friendly  country,  and 
to  hoM  tliem  in  check  in  an  entiny's  country. 

Or»().  They  move  actively,  ajipear  unexpectedly  on  different  points,  in  such  a  manner  as 
to  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  their  force,  or  to  tell  whether  they  are  irregular  forces 
or  an  advinccd  guard. 

057.  Tlie-e  opcratiims  require  vigilance,  secrecy,  energy,  and  promptness.  The  partisan 
commander  must  frequently  supply  by  stratagem  and  audacity  what  he  wants  in  numbers. 

658.  These  detachments  are  sometimes  composed  of  dilTerent  arms,  but  the  service  be- 
longs more  particularly  to  the  light  cavalry,  which  can  move  to  a  distance  by  rapid  marches, 
surprise  the  enemy,  attack  unexpectedly,  and  retire  as  promptly. 

059.  Stormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat,  and  the  nigbt  above  all,  are  favorable  to  the 
success  of  ambuscades;  when  the  enemy  are  careless,  the  break  of  day  is  the  best  time. 
A  partisan  commander  should  communicate  to  his  second  in  command,  his  secret  orders, 
the  direction  and  object  of  the  expedt lion,  and  the  different  points  of  junction  with  tie 
army. 

600.  Guides  of  the  country  and  spies  are  often  necessary  to  tha  partisan.  They  are  ex- 
amined separately,  and  confronted  if  their  accounts  differ.  When  there  is  brt  one  guide, 
be  ma  TJies  with  the  advanced  guard,  guarded  by  two  men,  and  bound  if  necessary.  Ped- 
dlers and  smucglers  are  specially  suitable  for  spies. 

061.  A  fit  time  to  attack  a  convoy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to  park,  or  when 
they  are  watering,  pa.ssing  a  wood  or  a  defile;  at  a  bend  of  the  road,  a  bridge  or  steep 
ascent. 

602.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  infantry.  The  fir-f 
object  i>  to  disperse  the  escort.  A  part  of  the  detachment  attacks  the  main  body  of  the 
escort,  another  the  wagons,  and  a  third  in  reserve  ;  skirmishers  line  tlie  road,  and  try  to 
cut  the  traces,  and  to  seize  the  front  and  rear  wagons,  and  turn  them  across  the  road,  to 
prevent  the  train  from  advancing  or-  retreating. 

OOn.  ]f  the  convoy  is  parked,  the  cavalry  surrounds  it,  assails  the  escort,  and  tries  to 
draw  it  away  from  the  train.  'J'he  infantry  then  engage  the  troops  remaining  at  the  park, 
.slip  under  the  wagons,  and  get  into  the  park.  When  the  cavalry'is  alone  and  the  enemy 
are  shaken,  they  dismount  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry. 

004.  If  it  is  a  large  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made  on  the  centre;  the  most  valu- 
able wagons  are  also  selected  and  additional  horses  are  put  to  them  if  the  attack  h  suc- 
ce.s.sfui.     Those  that  caimot  be  carried  off  are  burned. 

MARCHES. 

605.  The  object  of  the  movemerit  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  determine  the  order  of 
march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  earcli  column,  and  the  number  of  columns. 

006  The  force  is  divided  into  as  many  columns  as  circumBtanoc«  permit,  without  weak- 
ening any  one  too  much.  They  ought  to  preserve  thv*ir  communications,  and  be  within 
supporting  distance  of  each  oilier.  The  commander  of  each  column  ought  to  know  the 
strength  and  direction  of  the  others. 

667.  The  advance  and  rear  guards  are  usually  light  troops ;  their  strength  and  composi- 
tion depend  on  the  nature  ol  the  ground  and  the  position  of  the  enemy.    Thcj  scn'e  to 


52  MARCHES. 

cover  the  movements  of  the  army,  and  to  hold  the  enemy  in  check  until  the  General  has 
time  to  make  his  arrangements. 

6G3.  The  advance  guard  is  not  always  at  the  head  of  the  column  ;  in  a  march  to  a  flank, 
it  takes  such  positions  as  cover  the  moveme.it.  Sappers  are  attached  to  the  advanced 
guard  if  required. 

CG9.  The  ^^  gene  ml, '^^  sounded  one  hour  before  the  tiir.e  of  marching,  is  the  signal  to 
strike  tents,  to  load  the  wagons,  and  paclc  hor>e.«,  and  send  "them  to  tlie  place  of  assem- 
bling. The  fires  are  then  put  out,  and  care  taken  to  avoid  burning  straw,  &c.,  ©r  giving  to 
the  enemy  any  other  indication  of  the  movement. 

670.  The  "march,"  will  be  beat  in  the  infantry,  and  the  "advance"  sounded  in  the 
cavalry,  in  succcs-sion,  as  eacli  is  to  take  its  place  in  the  column. 

671.  When  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  tbe  enemj',  the  "long  rolV^  is  beat, 
and  "to  horse'^  sounded.     Tiie  troops  form  rapidly  in  front  of  tlieir  camp. 

672.  .Batteries  of  artillery  and  their  caissons  move  with  •^he  corps  to  which  thev  are 
attached;  the  field  train  and  ambulances  march  at  the  rear  of  the  column;  and  the  bag- 
gage with  the  rear  guard. 

073.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  march  together,  unless  the  proximity  of  the  enemy 
makes  it  necessary. 

674.  In  cavalry  marches,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  regiment,  and,  if  possible, 
each  squadron,  forms  a  separate  column,  in  order  to  keep  up  the  same  gait  from  front  to 
rear,  and  to  trot,  when  desirable,  on  good  ground.  In  such  cases,  the  cavalry  may  leave 
ramp  later,  and  can  give  more  lest  to  the  horses,  and  more  attention  to  the  shoeing  and 
harness.     Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

675.  When  neces.sary,  the  orders  spe  ify  the  rations  the  men  are  to  carry  in  their  hav- 
ersacks. The  field  clScers  and  Captains  make  inspections  frequently  during  the  march; 
at  halts  they  examine  the  knapsacks,  valises  and  haversacks,  and  throw  awa)'  all  articles 
not  authorized.  The  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  of  cavalry  companies  attend 
personally  to  the  packs  and  girths. 

676.  When  it  can  be  avoided,  troops  should  not  be  assembled  on  high  roads  or  other 
places  where  they  interrupt  the  communicatioK. 

677.  G^inerals  of  Division  and  commanders  of  detached  corps  send  a  staff  officer  to  the 
rendezvous,  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who,  on  arriving:,  take  their  place  in  the 
order  of  battle,  and  form  in  close  column,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  Artillery,  or  trains 
halted  on  the  roads,  form  in  file  on  one  side. 

678.  The  execution  of  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.  If  the  commander  is  not 
at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they  are  to  march,  the  next  in  rank  puts  the  column  in 
motion. 

679.  If  possible,  each  column  is  preceded  by  a  detachment  of  sappers,  to  remove  obsta- 
cles to  the  march,  aided,  when  necessary,  by  infantiy,  or  the  people  of  the  country.  The 
detachment  is  divided  into  two  sections;  one  stops  to  remove  the  first  obstacle,  the  other 
moves  on  to  the  next. 

6S0  In  night  marches,  and  at  bad  places,  and  at  cross-roads,  when  necessary;  intelligent 
non-commissioned  officers  are  posted  to  show  the  way,  and  are  relieved  by  the  regiments 
as  they  come  up. 

681.  On  the  march,  no  one  shall  fire  a  gun,  or  cry  "/m?<,"  or  "march,"  without  orders. 

682.  Soldiers  are  not  to  stop  for  water:  the  canteens  should  be  filled  before  starting. 

68'j.  It  is  bettor  to  avoid  villages;  but  if  the  route  lies  through  them,  officers  and  non- 
commissioned officers  are  to  be  vigilant  to  prevent  straggling.  Halts  should  not  take  place 
at  villages. 

68-f.  Besides  the  roar  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detachment  from  the  last 
regiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  oflicers  from  each  regiment,  to  examine  villages 
and  all  hiding-places  on  the  route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  marauders. 

68.').  In  night  marches,  the  Sergcant-Major  of  each  regiment  remains  at  the  rear  with  a 
drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness  or  difficulty  stops  the  march.  In  cavalry,  a  trum- 
pet is  pla  ;ed  in  rear  of  each  squadron,  and  the  signal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

680.  Tiie  General  and  field  officers  frequently  stop,  or  send  officers  to  the  rear,  to  see 
that  the  troeps  march  in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep  their  distances.  To  quicken  the 
march,  the  General  warns  the  Colonels,  and  may  order  a  signal  to  be  beat.  It  is  repeated 
in  all  the  regiments. 

687.  In  approaching  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned ;  they  close  their  regiments  as 
they  come  up:  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at  an  accelerated  pace,  and  in  as  close 
order  as  possible.    The  leading  regiment  having  pas.sed,  and  left  room  enough  for  the 


BATTLES.  53 

wliole  colnmn  in  close  order,  then  halts,  and  moves  af;;ain  as  soon  as  the  la!=t  regiment  is 
tbronirl).  In  the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to  rejoin  the  column, 
takes  its  oritrinal  order  of  march. 

O'^S.  When  the  distance  from  the  enemy  permits,  each  regiment,  after  closing  up  in  front 
an'l  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

CiSl).  Halts  to  rest  and  re-form  the  troops  are  frequent  during  the  day,  depending  on  the 
objct  and  length  of  the  march.     They  are  mar'e  in  preference  after  the  passage  of  defiles. 

COO    No  honors  are  paid  hy  troops  on  the  march  or  at  halts. 

COl.  The  sick  march  with  the  wagons. 

fi02.  Li»d  horses  of  officers,  and  tlie  hi^rses  of  dismounted  men,  follow  their  regiment. 
The  haggate  w  aeons  never  march  in  the  column.  When  the  tJeneral  orders  the  field 
train  and  ambulances  to  take  place  in  the  column,  he  designates  the  position  thev  shall 
take. 

Ci9?,  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  same  road,  they  pass  to  the  right,  and  both  continue 
th(  ir  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough;  if  it  is  not,  the  first  in  the  order  of  battle  takes 
the  road —  the  other  hairs. 

G\H.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  b«  cit  hy  another.  If  two  corps  meet  at  cross-roads, 
that  which  arrive^  last  halts  if  the  other  is  in  motion.  A  corps  in  march  passes  a  corps 
nf  a  liait,  if  it  has  precedence  in  the  order  of  battle,  or  if  the  halted  corps  is  not  ready  to 
move  at  once. 

095.  A  column  that  halts  to  let  another  column  pass  resumes  the  march  in  advance  of 
the  train  of  thi><  column.  If  a  column  has  to  pass  a  train,  the  train  must  halt,  If  neces- 
sary, fill  the  colnmn  passes.  The  column  which  has  precedence  must  yield  it  if  the  com- 
mander, on  seeing  the  orders  of  the  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  service. 


GOCt.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  on  the  number,  kind,  and  quality  of  the  'troops 
opposed,  on  tie  cr  und,  and  on  the  objects  of  the  war;  but  the  following  rules  are  to  be 
obsiTvcd  generally; 

C)97.  In  attacking,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  the  enemy's  outposts,  or 
cut  thent  off  from  the  main  body.  Having  done  so.  oi'  driven  them  in.  it  occupies,  in 
advanrinsr.  all  the  f^o  nts  that  can  cover  '  r  facilitate  the  march  of  the  army,  or  secure  its 
retr.at,  such  as  bridtrcs,  defiles,  woods,  and  heights:  it  then  make*  attacks,  to  occupy  the 
ene.ny,  without  ri>king  too  much,  and  to  deceive  them  as  to  the  march  and  projects  of  the 
aruiy. 

•  698.  When  the  enemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  the  commandant  of 
the  advanced  guard  send*  scouts,  under  intellisent  officers,  to  the  right  and  left,  to  a.so<T- 
tain  his  position  and  movements.  K  he  does  not  succeed  in  this  wny,  he  tries  to  unmask 
the  etieniy  by  demonstrations  :  threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  the  main  body;  makes 
fal-e  attack- ;  partial  and  impetuous  charges  in  echelon  ;  and  if  all  fail,  he  makes  a  real 
att.ick  to  accomplish  the  object. 

699.  Detaehments  left  by  the  advanced  sruard  to  hold  po-'nts  in  the  rear,  rejoin  it  when 
other  troops  come  up.  I*  the  army  tikes  a  position,  and  the  advanced  guard  is  separated 
from  It  by  defiles  or  heights,  the  communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  from  the 
main  body. 

7ti().  At  p'oper  distance  from  the  enemy,  the  troops  are  formed  for  the  attack  in  several 
line-:  if  only  two  can  be  formed,  some  liaftalions  in  column  are  placed  behind  the  wings 
<.f  til"  second  lin<^  The  lines  may  be  formed  oi  troops  in  column  or  in  order  of  battle, 
ace..r  'irig  to  the  trronnd  and  plan  of  at  ark. 

7(»l.  The  advanced  iruard  m  y  be  put  in  the  line  or  on  the  wings,  or  other  position,  to 
aid  the  pursuit  or  cover  liie  retreat. 

702  The  reserve  is  formed  of  the  best  troojis  of  fiot  and  horse,  to  complete  a  victory 
or  tn  'ke  trood  a  retreat.  It  is  placed  In  the  rear  of  the  centre,  or  chief  point  of  attack  or 
defc'ire 

70',.  The  civalrv  should  he  distributed  in  echelon  on  the  wings  and  at  the  centre,  on 
fav   ralile  ground. 

704.  It  should  be  instructe.l  not  to  tike  the  gallop  until  within  charging  distance; 
never  t  >  receive  a  ehir.-e  at  a  hal',  but  to  meet  it,  or.  if  nr)t  stroncr  enon^di.  to  retire 
manoeivring ;  anj  in  orler  to  be  rea'ly  for  the  pnr-iiit.  and  prej^arcd  against  a  lerer-e.  or 
the  attacks  of  the  re>erre,  not  to  engage  all  it>  scpiadions  at  once,  but  to  reserve  one  third, 


64  BATTLES. 

in  column  or  in  eclielon,  abreast  of  or  in  the  rear  of  one  of  the  wings:  this  arrangement 
is  better  than  a  second  line  with  intervals. 

705.  In  the  attack,  the  artillery  is  emploj'ed  to  silpnce  the  batteries  that  prntect  the 
position.  In  tlie  defence,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  fire  on  the  advan.-ing  troop*.  In  either 
case,  as  many  pieces  are  united  as  possible;  the  lire  of  artillery  being  foi'inidable  in  pro- 
portion to  its  concentration. 

706.  In  battles  and  military  operations  it  is  better  to  assume  the  offensive,  and  put  the 
enemy  on  the  defensive:  but  to  be  safe  in  doing  so  requires  a  larger  force  than  the  enemy, 
or  better  troops,  and  favorable  ground.  When  obliged  to  act  on  the  defensive,  tlie  advant- 
age of  position  and  of  making  the  attack  may  sometimes  be  secured  by  forming  in  rear  of 
tlie  ground  on  which  we  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at  the  moment  of  action.  In* mount- 
ain warfare,  the  assailant  has  always  the  disadvantage  ;  and  even  in  offensive  warfsire,  in 
the  open  field,  it  may  frequently  be  very  important,  when  the  artillery  is  well  posted, 
and  any  advantage  of  the  ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the  enemy  and  com[jel  him  to 
attack. 

707.  The  attack  should  be  made  with  a  superior  force  on  the  defensive  point  of  the 
enemy's  position,  by  masking  this  by  false  attacks  and  demonstrations  on  other  points, 
and  by  concealing  the  tr„ops  intended  for  it  by  tiie  ground,  or  by  other  troops  in  the  front. 

708.  Besides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  ttie  .supposed  plan  of  the  cnemv,  the 
wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported  by  troops  in  echelon:  if  the  attack 
of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  ofTensive  must  at  once  be  taken  to  inspire  the  troops,  to 
disconcert  the  enemy,  and  often  to  decide  the  action.  In  thus  taking  the  oflen.-ive,  a  close 
column  should  bo  pushed  rapidly  on  the  wing  or  flank  of  the  enemy.  The  divisions  of 
this  column  form  in  the  line  of  battle  successively,  and  each  division  moves  to  the  front  as 
?oou  as  formed,  in  order,  by, a  rapid  attack  in  ec!iel  n,  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  ciiang- 
ing  front  or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In  all  arrangements,  e-pecially  in  thos^•  for  attacks, 
it  is  most  important  to  conceal  the  design  until  the  moment  ot  e>ecution,  and  t hen  to 
execute  it  with  the  greatest  rapidity.  The  niglit,  therefore,  is  preferred  for  the  movement 
of  troops  on  the  flank  or  rear  of  the  enemy,  otlurwi-e  it  is  necessary  to  mask  their  march 
by  a  grand  movement  in  front,  or  by  takmg  a  wide  circnit. 

70'j.  In  making  an  attack,  the  communicati'ins  to  the  rear  and  for  retreat  must  be 
secured,  and  the  General  must  give  beforehand  all  necessary  orders  to  provide  lor  that 
event. 

710.  When  a  success  is  gained,  the  light  troops  should  pursue  the  enemy  promjitly  and 
rapidly.  The  other  troops  will  restore  order  in  their  cohimns,  then  advance  fi'om  pu--ition 
to  position,  always  prepared  lor  an  attack  or  to  support  tiie  troops  engaged. 

711.  Before  the  action,  the  Generals  indicate  the  places  where  they  will  be:  if  the^' 
change  position,  they  give  notice  of  it,  or  leave  a  staff  ulBcer  to  show  where  they  have 
gone. 

712.  During  the  fight  the  officers  and  non-commi-sioned  officers  keep  the  men  in  the 
ranks,  and  enforce  obedience  if  necessary.  Soldii  rs  mu>t  not  be  permitteil  to  leave  the 
ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead,  nor  to  assist  the  woundeil,  unless  by  express  pi^rmission, 
which  is  only  to  be  given  after  the  action  is  drcided.  The  hiy,hest  interest  and  duty  is  to 
■win  the  victory,  which  only  can  in>nre  proper-  caic  of  the  woiindrd. 

713.  Before  the  action,  the  Qnar'termaster  of  ti>e  division  makes  all  the  necessary 
arrangements  for  the  transp 'rtatinn  of  the  wounded.  lie  establishes  the  ambulance 
depot-  in  tlie  rear,  anil  gives  i  is  avssistants  the  necesaiy  instruction  for  the  service  of  the 
amVjulance  wairons  and  otiier  means  of  removing  the  woui'^ded. 

714.  The  ambulance  depot,  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  directed  for  immediate 
treatment,  is  lienrraPy  establi.-heii  at  the  uiosr.  convenient  building  neare.•^t  the  tiehl  of 
batt'e.  A  red  jIki  marks  ii„s  place  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  tlie  ambulances 
and  to  the  wounded  who  can  walk. 

715  The  active  ainbulanci-s  f  >llow  the  tioop>  eug^iged  to  succor  the  wounded  and  re- 
move them  t-  the  dep  its ;  for  this  purpose  Mie  conductors  should  always  have  the  mces- 
sary  assistants,  that  the  sold  er-  may  have  no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

716.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  con-ultaiion  with  the  Quariii  master- 
General,  distribures  tb(^  medicid  uffle.'rs  and  hospital  attendants  at  his  dispos  1,  to  the  de- 
pots and  active  ambulances.  He  wdl  send  oliiceis  and  afendants  when  practicable,  to  the 
active  ambulance^,  to  reli'Ve  the  wounded  who  reqit  re  treatment  before  being  I'emoved 
from  the  groimd.  He  vyill  see  t  at  the  depots  and  ambulances  are  provided  with  the 
nece-sar  apparatus,  medicines  and  scores.  lie. wdl  tike  po-^-t  and  render  his  proiesniona! 
services  at  the  principal  depot.

717.  Tf  tlic  enemy  endanerer  the  depot,  the  Qaarteriuaster  takes  the  orders  of  the  Gen- 
eral to  remove  it  or  strengthon  its  rrnard. 

718  Tlie  woiinde'1  in  the  depots  and  'lie  sick  are  reraoved  as  soon  as  possible  to  the 
hospitals  tliat  iiave  been  established  b}'  the  Quartermaster-General  of  the  ariDy  on  the 
Hanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

71'J.  Alter  an  action,  the  ofTiSors  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  munitions  of  war  left  on 
the  tield,  and  make  a  ietnrnof  ti)eni  to  the  Gener-1.  The  Qaarteriua>ter's  Department 
C(jliects  the  rest  of  the  public  property,  captured,  and  make>  the  returns  to  head-qnarters. 

72(1.  Written  reports  for  the  (jeneral  comiiiandin^-in-chief  are  made  by  commnndants 
of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  s«piiidrons,  and  by  ail  commanders  of  a  higher  grade, 
each  in  what  concerns  his  own  command,  and   to  iiis  immediate  commander. 

721.  When  an  ofHeer  or  soldier  desi  rves  mention  for  conduct  in  action,  a  special  report 
shall  he  made  in  his  case,  and  tiie  lieneral  coiymandin-.'-in  cliief  decides  whether  to  men- 
tion him  in  his  report  to  the  governmeiit  and  in  liis  orders.  But  he  sliall  not  oe  mentioned 
in  the  report  until  be  has  been  mentioned  in  the  orders  to  the  arwiy.  These  special  re- 
ports are  exfimined  with  care  by  the  nitermediate  ooi>>manders,  to  verilj'  the  facts,  and 
secwrc  commendation  and  rewaids  to  tiic  meritorious  only. 

722  The  report  of  battles,  which  nn)st  Incpieutl}'  be  made  before  these  special  reports 
of  per-ons  are  scrutinized,  is  coulined  to  general  praise  or  blame,  and  an  account  ot  the 
operations. 

TRISONERS    OF    WAR. 

72.'>.  Prisoners  of  war  w'ill  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  tha  rear,  and  reported  as  soon  as 
practicable  to  the  liead  quarters  Tie  return  of  prisoners  from  the  herd  quarters  of  the 
army  to  tlie  War  Department  will  specify  tii^  number,  rank,  and  corps. 

724.  The  private  propeity  of  prisoners  will  be  duly  respected,  and  each  shall  be  tieat^d 
with  the  n  gard  due  to  his  rank  T  ley  are  to  obey  the  neces-^ary  orders  given  them. 
They  receive  for  sn>is!sience  one  ration  e^ch,  without  re}:^rd  to  rank;  and  the  wounded 
are  to  be  treated  with  the  same  care  as  the  wounded  of  tlie  army.  Othei'  allowances  to 
them  will  depen-^  on  conventions  with  the  enemy.  Prisoner's  horses  will  be  taken  for 
the  army 

725.  kxcimnees  of  prisoners  and  release  of  officers  on  parole  depend  on  the  orders  of 
the  General  commanding-iu-chief,  undtr  the  instructions  of  governmeut. 

CONVOYS    AND    THEIR    ESCORlS. 

726.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort  i)f  a  convoy  depend  on  the  country,  the 
natnr?  and  valu^'  of  tiie  convoy,  and  the  dangers  it  may  iu'ur.  A  larger  escort  is  required 
for  a  coiivov  of  powder,  that  the  defense  may  not  be  near  the  train. 

727.  Oav:dry  is  finploxed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre;  the  proportion  is  larger  as 
the  <-oiinrrv  i.>  more  open. 

728.  Pioneers  or  working  parties  are  attached  to  convoys  to  mend  roads,  remove  ob- 
stacles, ,'ind  er-'Ct  detenNC.s.  The  convoys  should  always  be  provideii  with  spare  wheels, 
poles,  axles,  <fcc. 

72'.).  The  coiimiand.i.nt  of  the  e>cort  should  receive  detailed  instructions  in  w  liting. 

7ijO.  As  far  as  the  defense  permits,  the  commander  of  tlie  e,»cort  shall  refer  to  tiie  oflS- 
cer  in  clmrire  of  the  convoy  for  th(}  Iwurs  of  departure,  the  halts,  the  parking  and  orloi  of 
the  train,  and  the  precautions  against  accidents. 

731  tUficers  wSo  Mccouqiany  the  convoy,  but  do  not  btlong  to  the  ocort,  shall  e.xerci.se 
no  author  t\  in  it  except  by  consent  of  tie  commander.  1  tiie-e  ofBc^^rs  are  junior  to 
tljc  commaii'ter.   he  may  assign  t^em  to  dutv  if  the  defense  requires  it. 

7.'^2.  Lartre  <onv.>y^  are  formed  into  division.s;  eich  with  a  conductor.  The  dist.nco  be- 
tween the  wairoui  is  four  pices.     A  small  party  of  infantry  is  attached  to  each  dnt-ioii. 

7.i3.  Geuira'ly.  munitions  of  war  H'f  at  the  hea<1  of  the  coiivoy,  >ubsi.stenee  luxt,  and 
then  oti  (T  military  scores;  the  •sutler  la^t.  Hut  always  that  part  of  tlie  convoy  woioli  is 
most  important  to  the  army  .^hall  l>e  v»  here  it  i»  most  -ecure  from  danger. 

734  Th"  c  oinrn  mdant  siionl  i  send  out  reconn  literiu.'  pinies,  and  nevir  put  the  ntnvoy 
in  moii.iii  until  'heir  rep(»rt»  '  ave  b"'?n  receiv  d.  He  always  forms  an  atlvanre  ami  irnr 
guanl.  :uid  ktr  ps  tiie  main  body  under  hi-,  immediate  order  at  the  rajst  important  point, 
with  sma'l  guards  or  po^ts  at  other  points. 

735.  In  an  open  country  the  iu.iin  body  inarches  by  the  side  of  the  road,  oppo-site  the 


56  CONVOYS  AND  THETR  ESCORTS- 

centre  of  the  convoy,  in  other  cases,  at  the  head  or  rear  of  the  column,  as  the  one  or  the 
otlier  is  more  exposed. 

786.  The' advance  guard  precedes  the  convoy  f^r  enon?;h  to  remove  all  obstncles  to  its 
advance.  It  examines  the  woods,  defiles,  and  villages,  and  by  mounted  men  gives  infor- 
mation to  the  commander,  and  receives  his  orders.  It  reconnoitres  plaees  for  halts  and 
park-;. 

737.  If  the  head  of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  guard  seizes  the  defiles  and 
places  which  the  enemy  niiglit  occupy',  and  holds  them  until  the  main  body  advances  to 
the  front  and  relieves  it;  the  main  body  holds  tlie  po-itions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy 
arrives,  and  then  leaves  detachments,  which  are  relieved  by  the  partiiis  marching  with  the 
division-^:  the  posts  are  not  abandoned  until  the  whole  convoy  has  passed  and  the  posi- 
tion is  no  longer  imi)ortant. 

7u8  When  the  rear  is  threatened,  like  measures  are  taken  ;  the  rear  guard  defends  the 
grounds  and  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  the    I  rid  ires  and  blocking  the  road. 

739.  If  the  flinks  are  threatened,  and  the  ground  is  hrnken,  and  many  defiles  are  to  be 
passed,  the  defense  of  the  convoy  becomes  more  difficult;  the  advance  and  rear  guards 
ni'u>t  be  reduced,  tlie  flanks  strengthened,  nnd  positions  which  will  cover  the  march  of  the 
convoy  must  be  occupied  by  the  main  body  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the  convoy 
roaches  them,  and  until  it  has  passed. 

740.  If  the  convoy  is  large  and  has  to  pass  f.la(;es  that  the  force  and  position  of  the 
em-m^'  make  daiit'crou^,  the  loss  of  the  wliole  convny  mii-;t  not  be  ri-ked  ;  it  ni'  st  pass  by 
divisions,  which  reunite  after  the  passage.  In  this  case  the  greater  part  of  the  troops 
guard  the  fir-t  division;  they  seize  the  important  points,  and  covei' th<^m  with  Iigl)t  troops, 
or.  if  necessary,  with  small  posts,  and  hold  tliem  until  all  thedivisions  have  passed. 

741.  If  there  i^  arfillcrv  in  i  he  convoy,  the  commanrlerol  theescort  uses  it  for  the  defense. 

742  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defense  easier,  the  wacons  move  iji  double  file  when- 
evf-r  the  road  allows  it.  It  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at  once  removed  from  the  road  ;  when 
repauvd.  it  takes  the  rear;  when  it  cannot  be  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed 
to  some  of  the  other  wagons  kept  in  tlie  rear  'br  t4iat  purposis. 

743  Convoys  by  water  are  esforted  on  the  same  principles.  Each  boat  has  a  small  in- 
fantiy  guard  ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or  follows  the  convoy  in  boats.  The  cav- 
alry marcli  opposite  tlie  convoy  ;  the  advance  aud  rear  guard  move  by  land,  and  all  are 
connvCted  by  flankers  with  the  convoy.  Where  a  river  runs  through  a  narrow  vadey,  the 
bod}-  of  the  infantry  moves  by  land  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  occupying  the  heights 
and  di-turbing  the  convoy. 

744.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the  horses  take  breath  and  the  wagons  close  up. 
Long  halts  are  made  but  seldom,  and  only  in  plices  that  have  been  reconnoitered  and 
foun  I  favorable  for  rlefence-  At  niudit  the  park  is  arranged  for  delence.  and  in  preference 
at  a  di-tance  from  inhabited  places,  if  in  an  enemy's  countr}^ 

745.  The  wa'jrons  f.re  usually  parked  in  raidcs.  axle  again.st  axle,  the  poles  in  the  same 
direction,  and  with  sufficient  s|  ace  between  t!ie  ranks  for  the  h(U'ses.  If  an  a'tack  is 
feip'd,  they  are  park''d  in  square,  the  hind  whei'ls  out  ide,  and  the  hnrses  inside. 

740.  On  the  appearance  of  the  enemy  durinL"  the  march,  the  commander  closes  up  the 
w.igon-^  nnd  continties  his  march  in  nrver  ;  lie  avoids  fighting;  but  if  the'  enemy  >eizes  a 
po-itinn  that  commands  his  road,  he  attacks  vigorously  with  the  mass  of  his  (orce.  but  is 
not  to  continue  the  pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.  Tl  e  convoy  halts,  and  resumes  the  march 
when  the  positiim  is  carried. 

747.  When  the  enei-n}'  is  too  strong  to  be  atta'ke.l,  tlie  convoy  is  parked  in  square  if 
there  is  v(  om  ;  .if  not  cl  sed  up  in  double  file ;  at  the  front  and  rear  tiie  road  is  blocked 
by  wagons  acr  tss  it.  The  drivers  are  dismounted  at  the  heads  of  the  hor-es  T  ie\  are 
not  poruiitted  to  make  their  escape.  The  li'.rht  ttoips  keeii  the  enemy  at  a  distance  as 
long  as  possihlc,  and  are  supported  when  necessan-,  but  prudently,  as  tlie  troops  nm-t  be 
k<'pf  in  hand   to  re-ist  the  main  attack.    - 

748  If  a  wagon  takes  fire  in  the  park,  remov-  it  if  possible;  if  not,  reuu  ve  *\r  t  the 
ammunition  wagons,  then  those  to  leeward  of  the  fire

that  the  details  rnay  be  made  in  time  to  prevent  any  delay  in  the  work.  They  should 
excei'd  the  number  strirtiy  required,  that  there  may  be  a  re-erve  for  unforeseen  wants. 
If  thi^  reserve  is  found  in.-ufGcient,  the  General  directs  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  to 
call  on  the  picket.

po  t  d  in  the  trenches  accordinjr  to  the  position  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  b  ttle, 
and,  as  far  as  possible,  the  companies  of  workmen  m  like  order.  The  reserves  of  workmen 
are  placed  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  neare>t  suitable  place  to  the  W(  rks. 

7'j;j.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  cainp,  and  march  with  their 
fire  arms  and  cartridge-Vjoxes,  wliich  they  pla' e  near  them  wliile  at  work.  They  always 
carry  their  overcoats,  to  cover  them  in  resting  or  when  wounded. 

7'J4.  Tiie  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  trailed,  and  the  workmen  also, 
unless  rhey  carrj^  materials  or  tools,  wher  the  arms  are  in  the  sling. 

795.  The  guards  and  detachments  of  workmen  send  a  corporal  to  the  openings  of  the 
trenches  to  guide  the  relief.  They  march  out  of  the  trenches  by  the  Hank,  with  trailed 
arms. 

79().  8and-basrs,  forming  loop-holes,  are  placed  at  intervals  on  the  parapet  to  protect 
the  sentintls  ;  they  are  more  nume.ous  than  the  sentinels,  so  that  the  enemy  may  not 
know  Where  tlie  sentinels  aie  pl.aced. 

7'.J7  VV^heu  detachments  are  placed  at  night  in  advaiice  of  the  trenches,  to  cover  the 
workmen,  the  men  sit  or  lie  down,  wirli  their  fire-arms  in  their  hands,  to  hide  tiiem>elves 
better  Ir  -m  tiie  enemy  ;  the  sentmels  put  their  ears  to  the  ground  frequently,  th:it  they 
may  hear  the  troops  coming  out  of  the  place.  To  prevent  mistakes,  the  workmen  are 
told  what  troops  cover  t'lem

officers  of  this  arm  are  employed  in  the  comniand  of  escorts  to  convoys,  of  whatever  aims 
the  escorts  may  be  composed.  Wlien  these  duties  are  not  sulKcient  to  employ  tlicm,  they

The  offioer-i  exert  themselves  to  restrain  the  men. 

812.  The  (Jeneral  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protection,  such  as  churches, 
as-ihnns,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools  and  magazines.  The  order  of  their  protection  should 
remind  the  .soldiers,  at  the  time,  of  the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

813.  Whether  the  place  be  taken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the  provisions  and  the

DEFENCE   or    FORTIFIED    PLACES. 

817.  In  war,  every  comm.ander  ef  a  fortified  place  shall  always  hold  himself  prepared 
with  his  plan  of  defence,  as  if  at  any  time  liable  to  attack.  He  arranges  this  plan  accord- 
ing to  the  probable  mode  of  attack ;  determines,  the  posts  of  the  troops  in  the  several 
parts  of  the  works,  the  reliefs,  the  reserves,  and  the  details  of  .service  in  all  the  corps.  He 
draws  up  instructions  for  a  case  of  attack,  and  exercises  the  garri.son  according  to  his  plan  of 
(hfcnce.  In  sea  coast  works  he  provides  the  instructions  for  the  diiferent  batteries  on 
the  approach  of  ships. 

818.  In  framing  his  plan,  ho  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior  within  the  radius  of 
attack  and  investment,  the  .strenixtli  of  tin- garrison,  the  artil  ery.  the  munitions  «>f  war, 
subsistence  and  supjdies  of  all  kind,  and  take  immediate  measures  to  procure  whatever  is 
deficient  of  trof>ps  or  supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  (he  Government,  or  from  the  means 
put  at  his  di.sposal. 

819.  On  the  approach  of  an  enemy,  lie  removes  all  houses  and  other  objects,  within  or 
without  the  place,  that  cover  the  approaches,  or  interrupt  the  fire  of  the  guns  or  the 
movements  of  the  troops.  He  assures  himself  personally  that  all  posterns,  outlets,  or 
embrasures,  &c.,  are  in  a  proper  stjite  of  .security. 

H20.  He  shall  be  furnisln^d  by  the  Department  of  War  with  a  plan  of  the  works,  showing

map  of  tho  environs  within  the  radius  of  investment ;  with  a  map  of  the  vicinity,  includ- 
ing the  neighboring  work'^,  roads,  water  channels,  coasts,  .tc,  with  a  memoir  explaining 
the  situation  and  defences  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and  bearings  of  the  several  works 
on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by  land  and  water — all  which  he  carefoMy  j)reserve8

artiUpry,  oit'ier  separately,  or  as  a  council  of  defence.  In  the  latter  Ciise,  lie  designates 
an  offi'x^r  to  act  as  secrer.irv  to  the  council,  and  to  recor  i  their  proceedinsis  and  theirjoint 
or  separate  opinion^,  which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  the  siege.  The  members  may 
record  their  (^pinions  under  their  own  signature.  In  all  cases,  the  commander  decides  on 
bis  own  tespoiisihility. 

822.  The  commander  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of  artillery,  shall 
keep  journals  of  the  de^nc?,  in  wliich  shall  be  entered,  in  order  of  datfe,-  without  blank  or 
interliu'^^ation,  the  orders  ^iven  or  received,  the  mmmer  in  which  they  are  executed,  their 
results,  and  every  event  and  circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  defence. 
These  jounmis,  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defence,  shall  be  sent,  after  the  siege, 
to  the  Department  of  War 

823.  There  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  p'ace,  to  be  sent  after 
the  siege  to  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  environs,  a  plan  of  the  fortifications, 
and  a  special  plan  of  the  front  of  attack,  on  which  the  chief  engineer  will  trace,  in  succes- 
sion, the  positions  occupied,  and  the  works  executed  by  the  enemy  from  the  investment  ; 
and  also  tlie  works  of  counter  approach  of  defence,  and  the  successive  positions  of  the  ar- 
tillery and  other  troops  of  the  garri-on  during  the  progress  of  the  siege. 

824.  The  commander  shal'  defend  in  succession  the  advanced  works,  the  covered  way 
and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  and  tje  interior  intrenchments,  lie  will  not  be 
content  with  clearing  away  the  foot  of  the  breaches,  md  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines, 
and  all  the  means  used  in  sieges  ;  but  he  shall  begin  in  good  time,  behind  the  bastions  or 
front  of  <tctack,  the  necessary  entrenchments  to  resist  assaults  on  t  he  main  work. 

825.  II«  shall  use  his  means  of  defence  in  such  manner  as  always  to  have  a  reserve  of 
fresh  troops,  chosen  from  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist  assaults,  re-take  the  outworks,  and 
especially  to  resist  assaults  on  the  body  of  the  place  ;  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  the 
last  period  of  the  siege,  and  of  ammunition  for  the  last  attacks. 

826.  He  must,  in  every  case,  compel -the  besieging  force  to  approach  by  the  slow  and 
successive  works  of  siege,  and  must  sustain  at  least  one  assault  on  a  practicable  breach  in 
the  body  of  the  place. 

827.  When  the  commander  thinks  that  the  end  of  the  defence  has  come,  he  shall  still 
consult  the  council  of  defence  on  the  means  that  may  remain  to  prolong  the  siege.  But 
in  all  Cxses  he  alone  will  decide  on  the  time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.  In  the 
capitulation,  he  shall  not  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  than  for  the  garrison, 
but  shall  share  their  fiUe,  and  exert  his  best  endeavors  for  the  care  of  the  troops,  and 
especially  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

828.  No  commander  in  the  field  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies  from  any  fortified 
place,  or  exercise  any  authority  over  its  commandant,  unless  it  has  been  put  subject  to 
his  orders  by  competent  authority.

them  from  injury  in  rough  weather  l)y  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  breeching,  or 
by  other  suitable  means  ;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by  openings  in

862.  In  the  detail  the  members  will  be  named,  and  they  will  take  place  in  the  court,  in 
the  order  of  tlieir  rank.  A  decision  of  the  proper  aut!iority  ia  rCj^ard  to  the  rank  of  the

and  will  then,  if  in  tlie  ojtinion  of  the  court  well  found>.'d,  be  referred  to  the  authority  con- 
veninsr  the  court,  to  decide  wliether  the  court  sha41  be  adjourned  or  dissolved,  and  the

dance \^ithin  a  reasonable  time  stated. 

800.  The  President  of  a  court-mnrtial,  beside>  his  duties  and  privilec;cs  as  member,  is  the 
organ  of  the  court,  to  keep  order  and  conduct  its  business.  He  speaks  and  acii^  fur  the 
court  in  each  case  where  the  rule  has  been  prescribed  by  law,  rctjulation,  or  its  own  reso-

a'ad  nece>,«ary  to  the  ends  of  justice. 

860.  Every  court-martial  shall  keep  a  complete  and  accurate  record  of  its  proceedings,  to 
be  authenticMted  by  tlie  signatures  of  the  Pre-ident  and  Judge  Advocate,  who  shall  alf-o 
certify,  in  like  manner,  tlie  sentence  pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.  The  record 
must  show  that  the  court  was  orginized  as  the  law  requires  ;  that  the  court  and  Judge 
Advocate  were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner;  that  he  was  previously  a^ked 
whether  ])e  had  objection  to  any  member,  and  his  answer  thereto.  A  copy  of  tlie  order 
appointing  the  court  will  be  entered  on  the  record  in  eacli  case. 

870.  Whenever  the  same  court-martial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one,  and  they  ai-e  ar- 
raigned on  separate  and  distin  t  charges,  the  court  is  to  be  sworn  at  the  commencement  of 
each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in  each  ca«e  will  be  made  up  separately. 

87,1.  The  record  shall  be  clearly  and  legibly  written;  as  far  as  practicable,  witliont  era-

872.  No  recommendation  will  be  embi-aced  in  the  body  of  the  .sentence.  Those  men- 
hirs only  who  concur  in  the  recommendat'on  will  sign  it. 

873.  The  legal  ptmishnwnts  for  soldiers  by  sentence  of  a  conrt-nT^rtial  according  to  the 
ofTenf-e,  and  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court,  are — death  ;  corporal  ptmishment  \<\  Hogsrii'g  ;

odx,  and  not  exceeding  eight i-fmr  days  in  one  vear. 

874.  A  conrt-maifial  cannot  assign  and  mnke  over  tlie  pay  of  a  soMier  to  anv  other  jier- 
f'on,  and  the  receipt  of  such  p<rson  will  not  be  a  sufficient  voucher  for  the  disbursing  offi- 
cer. Nor  can  a  «oldi"r  be  required  to  receipt  for  inonev  paid  without  h\<  consent  to^  ano- 
ther person.  The  law  prohibits  anv  receipt  or  voncj.tr  in  acf-otintsof  public  money,  unle.ss 
the  full  amount  of  the  receipt  is  paid  to  the  pnrtv  who  si^rned  it.

ordnaiice  sergeants  ati<l  ho«]iital  st..Hard>.  as  in  the  cases  of  other  enli>ted  men.  When 
howerer,  an  ordnance  sergeant  or  liosjiital  .steward  is  sentenced  bv  an  inferior  court  to  he

ate States.  A  superior  military  commander  to  the  oflicer  confirming  tiie  proceedings  may 
suspend  the  execution  of  the  sentence  when,  in  his  judgment,  it  is  void  upon  the  face  of

this  applies  only  to  such  articles  as  were  actually  issued  and  not  consumed,  or  would  actu- 
ally have  been  issued,  and  does  not  apply  to  such  parts  of  the  ration  as  the  Commissary 
does  not  habitually  have  on  hand  for  issue. 

1144.  The  accounts  for  sucji  purchases  will  be  made  in  duplicate,  (see  Form  No.  19,) 
and  the  articles  will  be   taken   up   by  the  Cummissary  on  his  monthly  return,  as  if  it 

were  an  original  purchase.     The  mone}''  paid  to  the  Captains  constitutes  a  company  fund. 

1145.  1st.  Duplicate  originals  of  all  contracts  on  account  of  sub-^istence  will  be  sent  to 
Commissary  General's  office  through  the  principal  Commissary  of  Subsistence  of  the  Mili- 
tary Department  m  which  the  contract  is  made.  The  place  of  residtuce  of  each  s^urety  to 
the  bond  must  be  named  therein  with  particularity.  Where  the  form  is  prescribed  it  will 
be  followed  ;  in  all  cases  contracts  must  be  drawn  up  and  executed  to  meet  thi)  require- 
ments of  the  law.  Every  contract,  whether  for  services  or  for  the  furnishing  cf  supplies, 
which  contemplates  a  partial  performance,  from  time  to  time,  continuing  until  the  whole 
duty  is  performed,  or  the  whole  deliver}-^  of  the  enumerated  articles  is  eflected,  must  pro- 
vide in  express  terms  for  its  earlier  termination,  if  the  Conuuissar^^- General  .shall  so  direct. 

1146.  Estimates  for  funds  must  be  rendered  in  duplicate. 

1147.  In  order  to  establish  an  invariable  rule  for  ascertaining  the  nett  weight  of  beaf 
cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the  following  mode  is  adopted,  and  for  the  future,  in  all  cases 
wi//  be  observed: 

1st.  When  practicable,  cattle  presented  for  acceptance  must  be  weighed  upon  the  scales. 
From  the  live  weight  of  a  steer,  thus  ascertained,  his  nett  weight  shall  be  determined  by 
deducting  forfy-five  *per  centum,  when  his  gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300) 
pounds,  and  fifty  per  centum  when  it  is  less  than  that,  and  not  under  eight  hundred  (800) 
pounds. 

2.  When  it  is  impracticable  to  weigh  upon  the  scales,  one  or  more  average  steers  must 
be  selected,  killed  and  dressed  in  the  usutd  manner.  The  average  nett  wight  of  these 
(necks  and  shanks  excluded)  will  be  accepted  as  the  average  nett  ^5  eight  of  the  herd.  In 
ail  written  instruments  for  the  delivery  of  cattle  on  the  hoof,  the  manner  prescribed 
above,  for  ascertaining  nett  weight,  must,  in  express  terms,  be  inserted ;  in  verbal  agree- 
ments, it  must  be  understood  and  accepted  by  the  party  delivering  the  eattle.  Vouchers 
for  the  payment  of  cattle  will  state  the  manner  pursued  in  determining  their  nett  weight, 
except  where  pa3'ment  has  been  made  on  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  in  which  case  the 
certificate  will  state  the  mode  followed. 

3d.  With  a  view  to  the  prevention  of  losses,  now  so  frequently  occurring,  from  over- 
estimating the  weight  of  cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the  serious  attention  of  officers  and 
agents  serving  in  this  department  is  specially  called  to  the  exercise  of  greater  care  in  the 
discharge  of  this  important  duty. 

1148.  When  fresh  beef  can  be  provided,  it  will  be  issued  to  the  troops  five  times  per 
week.  When  the  circumstances  are  favort-ble,  and  it  can  be  done  with  advantage  to  the 
Government,  the  Subsistence  Department  will  keep  beef  cattle  to  supply  the  issues. 

1149.  The  following  issues  and  substitutions  may  be  made:  When,  from  excessive 
fatigue  or  exposure,  the  commanding  aftuer  may  deem  it  necessary,  he  may  direct  the 
issue  cf  whiskey  to  the  enlisted  men  of  his  command,  not  to  exceed  a  gill  per  man  for 
each  da^^  Tea  may  be  issued  in  lieu  of  coffee,  at  the  rate  of  one  and  a  half  pounds  per 
one  hundred  rations.  Two  "issues"  per  week  of  "desiccated  vegetables"  may  be  made 
in  lieu  of  '•  beans"  or  "rice."  Potatoes  and  onions,  when  issued,  will  always  be  in  lieu" 
of  rice  or  beans.  Potatoes  at  the  rate  of  a  pound  per  ration;  onions  at  the  rate  of  three 
pecks  per  huud:ed  ration.'^.

by  the  Medical  Bureau. 

1206.  The  account  will  set  out  the  name  of  the  patient,  the  date  of  and  charge  for  each 
visit,  and  for  medicines.  The  physician  will  make  a  certificate  to  the  account  in  ca^  of  »b 
officer,  or  affidavit  in  case  of  an  enlisted  man,  that  the  account  is  correct,  and  the  charges 
are  the  custoniMry  charges  of  the  place. 

1207.  The  officer  will  make  is  certificate,  or  the  enlisted  man  his  affidavit,  to  the  correct-

make  the  affidavit,  before  required,  to  the  account,  and  that  he  has  been  paid  no  part  of  it. 

1210.  No  charges  for  consultation  fees  will  be  paid  hf  the  Medical  Bureau  ;  nor  will 
any  account  for  medical  attendance  or  medicines  be  paid,  if  the  officer  or  enlisted  man  be 
not  on  service. 

1211.  A  board  of  not  less  than  three  medical  officers  will  be  appointed  from  time  to' 
time,  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  to  examininc  applicants  for  appointment  of  assistant  sur- 
geons in  the  regular  army,  and  assistant  surgeons  fir  promotion.  And  no  one  sJiall  be  so 
appointed  or  promoted  until  so  examined  and  found  qualified. 

1212.  The  board  will  scrutinize  rigidly  the  moral  habits,  professional  acquirements,  and 
physical  qualifications  of  the  candidates,  and  report  favorably,  cither  for  appointment  or 
promotion,  in  no  case  admitting  of  a  reasonable  doubt. 

1213.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  designate  the  applicants  to  be  examined  for  appoint- 
ment of  assistant  surgeon.  They  must  be  between  21  and  25  years  of  age.  The  board 
will  report  their  respective  merits  in  the  several  branches  of  the  examination,  and  their 
relative  merit  f''om  the  whole  ;  agreeably  whereto,  if  vacancies  happen  within  two  years 
thereafter,  they  will  receive  appointments  and  take  rank  in  the  medical  corps. 

1214.  When  an  assistant  surgeon  has  served  five  years,  he  is  subject  to  be  examined  for 
promotion.  If  he  decline  the  examination,  or  be  found  not  qualified  by  moral  habits  or 
professional  acquirements,  he  ceases  to  be  a  medical  officer  of  the  army. 

1215.  An  applicant  for  appointment  failing  at  one  examination,  may  be  allowed  a  second 
after  two  years;  but  never  a  third. 

1216.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  appoint,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Surgeon  ben- 
eral,  from  the  enlisted  men  of  the  army,  or  cause  to  be  enlisted,  as  many  competent  hos- 
pital stewards  as  the  service  may  require. 

1217.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  a  command  requiring  a  steward,  may  recom- 
mend a  competent  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  to  be  appointed,  which  recommen- 
dation the  commanding  officer  shall  forward  to  the  Atljutant  and  Inspector-General  of  the 
Army,  with  his  remarks  thereon,  and  with  the  remarks  of  the  company  commander. 

1218.  When  no  competent  enlisted  man  can  be  procui'ed,  the  medical  officer  will  report 
the  fact  to  the  Surgeon  General.  Applications  and  testimonials  of  competency,  from  2?er- 
sous  seeking  to  be  enlisted  for  hospital  stewards,  may  be  addressed  to  the  Surgeon  General. 

1219.  The  commanding  officer  may  re-enlist  a  hospital  steward  at  the  expiration  of  his 
term  of  service^  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medical  officer. 

1220.  No  soldier,  or  citizen,  will  be  recommended  for  appointment  who  is  not  known  to 
be  temperate,  honest,  and  in  every  way  reliable,  as  well  as  sufficiently  intelligent,  and 
skilled  in  pharmac}',  for  the  proper  discharge  of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to  be  devolved 
upon  him.  Until  this  is  knoKii^  he  will  be  appointed  an  acting  steward  by  the  medical 
officer,  with  the  approval  of  the  commanding  officer,  and  will  be  entitled  to  the  pay  and 
ajlowances  of  hospital  steward. 

,1221.  Hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  whenever  stationed  in 
places  whence  no  post  return  is  made  to  the  Adjutant  General's  office,  or  when  on  fur-' 
lough,  will,  at  the  end  of  everj^  month,  report  themselves,  by  letter,  to  the  Adjutant  Gen-  . 
eral  and  Surgecm  General,  as  well  as  to  the  Medical  Director  of  the  military  department 
in  wiiich  they  may  be  serving;  to  each  of  whom  they  will  also  report  each  new  assign- 
ment to  duty,  or  change  of  station,  ordered  in  their  case,  noting  carefully  the  number, 
date,  and  source  of  the  order  directing  the  same.  They  will  likewise  report,  monthly  when 
on  furiuugh.  to  the  medical  officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  which  they  are  attached. 

1222.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts  martial  are  the  same  with  reference  to 
hospital  stewards  as  in  the  cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When,  however,  a  hospital  stew- 
ard is  sentenced  by  an  inferior  court  to  be  reduced  to  the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it 
ma}'  be  ajiproved  by  the  reviewing  officer,  will  not  be  carried  into  effect  until  the  case  has 
been  referred  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  of  reduction,  the 
application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  service,  though  not  recognized  as  of  right,  will 
generally  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his  offence  has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and 
especially  when  he  has  not  been  recently  promoted  from  the  ranks. 

1223.  As  the  hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  a"e  permanently 
attachedto  the  Medical  Department,  their  accounts  of  pay,  clothing,  (fee,  nust  be  kept  by 
the  medical  officers  under  whose  immediate  direction  they  are  serving,  who  arc  also  re- 
sponsible for  certified  statements  of  such  accounts,  and  correct  descriptive  lists  of  such 
stewards,  to  accompany  them  in  case  of  transfer ;  as,  also,  that  their  final  statements  and 
certificates  of  discharge  arc  accurately  made  out,  when  they  are  at  length  discharged  from 
service.  .fisiu  ii^t,uix-

orders  the  number  of  lieutenants  to  be  detailed  from  each  regiment  by  its  colonel.  When 
the  detail  is  not  according  to  the  roster,  the  special  reason  of  the  case  shall  be  reported 
and  laid  before  the  Secretary  of  War. 

1385.  A  recruiting  party  will  consist  generally  of  one  lieutenant,  one  non-commissioned 
officer,  two  privates,  and  a  drummer  and  fifer.  The  parties  will  be  sent  from  the  principal 
depots,  and  i^one  but  suitable  men  selected.      "• 

1386.  Officers  on  the  general  recruiting  service  are  not  to  be  ordered  on  any  other  duty,

and  Inspector  General  and  Second  Auditor. 

1391.  When  recruits  should  be  sent  to  regiments,*  a  superintendent  will  report  to  the 
Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  for  instructions  in  reference  thereto. 

io92.  When  recruits  are  sent  from  a  depot  or  rendezvous  to  a  regiment  or  post,  a  nnsfrr 
and  descrlptioe  roll,  and  an  a-'vimf,  of  dofhhig  o(  th^s  detachment,  will  be  given  to  the 
officer  assigned  to  the  command  of  it ;  and  a  duplicate  of  the  muster  and  descriptive  roll

the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  Office.  Officers  on  the  recruiting  service  will  not 
bo  sent  fron\  place  to  place  without  orders  from  the  same  source. 

DUTIES    OF    RECRUITINO    OFFICERS 

1396.  Success  in  obtaining  recruits  depends  much  on  the  activity  and  personal  attention 
of  r.'cruiting  officers,  and  they  will  not  entrust  to  enlisted  men  the  duties  for  which  them- 
selves on\y  are  responsible.  They  will  in  no  case  absent  themselves  from  their  stations 
without  authority  from  the  superintendent. 

1397.  Recruiting  ollicers  will  not  allow  any  man  to  be  deceived  or  inveigled  into  the 
.service  b)-  false  representations,  but  will  in  person  explain  the  nature  of  tiie  service,  the 
length  of  the  term,  tlie  pay,  clothing,  rations,  and  otiier  allowances  to  which  asoldUr  is 
entitled  by  law,  to  every  man  before-  he  signs  the  enlistment.  If  minors  present  them- 
selves, they  are  to  be  treated  with  great  cindor  ;  the  names  and  residences  of  tlieir  parents 
or  guardians,  if  they  have  any,  must  be  ascertained,  and  they  will  be  informed  of  the 
minor's  \^ish  to  f^nlist,  that  they  may  mvke  their  objections  or  give  their  consent. 

1398.  With  the  sanction  of  superintendents,  recruiting  officers  may  insert  in  not  ex- 
ceeding two  newspapers,  bi"ief  notices  directing  attention  to  the  rendezvous  for  further 
information. 

1399.  Any  free  white  male  person  above  the  ageof  eighteen  and  under  thirty-five  years, 
being  at  least  five  feet  four  and  a  half  inches  hiy:h,  effective,  able-liodied,  sol)er,  free  ftoni 
disease,  of  good  character  and  habits,  and  able  to  speak  ami  understand  tciU  the  Euf^lisb 
lanjiuage,  may  be  enlisted.  This  regulation,  so  far  as  respects  the  height  and  age  of  the 
recruit,  shall  not  extend  to  musicians,  or  to  soldiers  wiio  miy  "re-enlist,"  or  have  served 
honestly  and  faithfully  a  previous  enlistment  in  the  army. 

1400.  No  person  under  the  age  of  twenty-one  years  is  to  be  enlisted  without  the  written 
consent  of  his  parent,  guardian,  or  mnster.  The  recruiting  offi-er  must  be  very  particular 
in  ascertaining  the  true  age  of  the  recruit,  and  will  not  accept  him  when  there  is  a  doubt 
of  his  being  ''of  age. 

1401.  After  the  nature  of  the  service  and  terms  of  enlistment  have  been  fairly  explained 
to  the  recruit,  the  officer,  before  the  enlistments  are  filled  up,  will  read  to  him,  and  offer 
for  his  signature,  the  annexed  di.chration,  to  be  appen  led  to  each  copy  of  his  enlistment: 

I, ,  desiring  to  enlist  in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States  for  the  period  of  five 

years,  do  declare  that  I  am years  and months  of  age ;  that  I  have  neither  wife 

nor  child  ;  that  I  have  never  been  discharsred  from  the  Confederate  States  service  on  ac- 
count of  disability,  or  by  a  sentence  of  a  court  miirtial,  or  by  order  before  the  expiration 
of  a  term  of  enlistment ;  and  1  know  of  no  impediment  to  ni}'  seiving  honestly  and  faith- 
fully as  a  .soldier  for  i\\e  3-ears. 

Witness : 


280  RECRUITING  SERVICE. 

1402.  If  the  recruit  be  a  minor,  Lis  parent,  guardian,  or  master  must  sign  a  consent  to 
Ms  enlisting,  which  will  be  added  to  the  preceeding  declaration,  in  the  following  form  : 

I, — ,  do  certify  that  I  am  the  [father  onlg  surviving  parent,  legal  master,  or  guardiftn) 

of ;  that  the  said is years  of  age  ;  and  I  do  hereby   freely  give  my  consent 

to  his  enlisting  as   a  soldier  in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States  for  the  period  of  five 
years. 

Witness  : . 


1403.  The  forms  of  declaration,  and  of  consent  in  case  of  a  minor,  having  been  signed 
and  witnessed,  the  recruit  will  then  be  duly  inspected  by  the  recruiting  officer,  and  sur- 
geon, if  one  be  present,  and  if  accepted,  the  20th  and  87th  Articles  of  iVar  will  be  read 
to  him  ;  after  which  he  will  be  allowed  time  to  consider  the  subject  until  his  mind  appears 
to  be  full}'  made  up  before  the  oath  is  administered  to  him. 

1404.  As  soon  as  practicable,  and  at  least  within  six  days  after  hJs  enlistment,  the  fol- 
lowing oath  will  be  administered  to  the  recruit  : 

"  I,  A —  B — ,  do  solemnly  swear  or  affirm,  (as  the  case  may  be,)  that  I  will  bear  true 
allegiance  to  the  Confederate  States  of  America,  and  that  I  will  serve  them  honestly  and 
faithfully  against  all  their  enemies  or  opposers  whatsoever,  and  observe  and  obey  the 
orders  of  the  President  of  th3  Confederate  States,  and  the  orders  of  the  officers  appointed 
over  me,  according  to  the  rules  and  articles  for  the  government  of  the  armies  of  the  Con- 
federate States.  "     (See  10th  Article  ot   vVar.) 

1405.  Under  the  Article  of  War  above  cited,  a  justice  of  the  peace,  the  chief  magistrate 
of  any  town  or  city  corporate,  (not  being  an  officer  of  the  Army,)  a  notary  public,  or,  when 
recourse  cannot  be  had  to  such  civil  magistrates,  a  judge  advocate,  or  any  commissioned 
officer  of  the  army,  may  administer  the  above  oath. 

1400.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  recruiting  officer  to  be  present  at  tie  inspection  of  the  re- 
cruit by  the  medical  officer,  la  passing  a  recruit  the  medical  officer  is  to  inspect  him 
stripped;  to  see  that  he  has  free  use  ol  all  his  limbs;  that  his  chest  is  ample  ;  that  his 
hearing,  vision,  and  speech  are  perfect  ;  that  he  has  no  tumors,  orulcerated,  or  extensively 
cicatrized  legs  ;  no  rupture  or  chronic  cutaneous  affection  ;  that  he  has  not  received  any 
contusion  or  wound  of  the  head,  that  may  impair  his  faculties  ;  that  he  is  not  a  drunkard  ; 
is  not  subject  to  convulsions  ;  and  has  no  intectious  disorder,  nor  any  other  that  may  unfit 
him  for  military  service. 

1407.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  emp](;y  private  physicians,  without  authority  from 
the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  Office,  for  the  special  purpoae  of  inspecting  the  re- 
cruits prior  to  their  enlisting. 

140S.  If  it  be  necessary,  as  in  the  case  of  sickness,  to  employ  a  physician,  the  recruiting 
officer  may  engage  his  services  by  contract  on  reasonable  terms,  by  the  visit,  or  by  the 
month.  If  by  the  month,  the  inspection  of  the  recruits  must  be  stated  in  the  contract  as 
part  of  his  duty.     The  phj'sician  will  be  paid  from  the  recruiting  funds. 

1409.  Enlistments  must,  in  all  cases,  be  taken  in  triplicate.  The  recruiting  officer  will 
send  one  copy  to  the  Adjutant  General  with  his  quarterly  accounts,  (paragraph  12'S0,  No. 
1,)  a  sectrad  to  the  superintendent  with  his  monthly  return,  (paragraph  1280,  No. 
6,)  and  a  thu^d  to  the  depot  at  the  same  time  the  recruits,  are  sent  there.  In  cases  of 
soldiers  re  enlisted  in  a  regiment,  or  of  regimental  recruits,  the  third  copy  of  the  enlist- 
ment will  be  sent  at  its  date  to  the  regimental  headquarters  for  file. 

1410.  When  ordnance  sergeants  re-enlist,  the  recruiting  officer  will  immediately  send 
the  second  cop}^  of  the  enlistment  direct  to  the  Adjutant  General,  and  the  third  copy  to 
the  station  of  the  ordnance  sergeant  for  file.  * 

1411.  A  non-comrais^ioned  officer,  musician,  or  private  soldier,  who  may  re-relist  into 
his  company  or  regiment  within  two  months  before,  or  one  month  after  the  expiration  of 
his  term  of  service,  shall  receive  a  bounty  uf  three  months'  extra  pay — ^that  is  to  say,  the 
pay  he  was  receiving  as  pay  of  his  grade,  and  as  additional  pay  for  length  of  service  and 
for  certificate  of  merit.  This  bounty  shall  be  paid  by  the  recruiting  officer  at  the  time  of 
enlistment,  and  noted  on  the  descriptive  list,  and  timely  notice  of  probable  re-enlistments 
in  a  company  must  be  given  beR)reband  to  the  proper  authority,  that  the  necessary  funds 
ma.j  be  provided.  Ordnance  sergeants  and  hospital  stewards  are  non-commissioned  offi-

ward may,  under  his  direction,  be  enlsted  for  this  purpose.  But  as  recruits  under  eigh- 
teen ye.irs  of  age  and  under  size  must  be  discharged,  if  they  are  not  capable  of  learning 
music,  care  should  be  taken  to  enlist  those  only  who  have  natural  talent  for  music,  and,  if 
practicable,  they  should  be  taken  on  trial  for  some  time  before  being  enlisted.

instruction,  nor  are  they  to  be  employed  otherwise  than  as  soldiers,  in  tlie  regular  duties 
of  garrison  and  camp. 

1451  Every  enlisted  man  discharged  as  a  minor,  or  for  other  cause  involving  fraud  on 
his  part  in  the  enlistment,  or  discharged  by  the  civil  authority,  shall  forfeit  all  pay  and

arriving  at  the  place  of  destination,  forward  the  following  papers  : 

1.  To  the  Adjatant  and  Inspector  General  and  the  Superintendent,  ea?h,  a  descriptive  roll 
and  an  account  of  clothing  of  such  men  as  may  have  deserted,  died,  or  been  lelt  on  the 
route  from  any  cause  whatever,  with  date  and  place ;  also,  a  special  report  of  the  date  of 
his  arrival  at  the  post,  the  strength  and  condition  of  the  detachment  when  turned  over  to 
the  commanding  officer,  and  all  circumstances  worthy  of  remark  which  may  liave  occurred 
on  the  march.

furnished  him  at  the  time  of  setting  out,  properly  signed  and  completed  by  recording  the 
names  of  the  recruits  present,  and  by  noting  in  the  column  for  remarks,  opposite  the  ap-

General  by  the  commanding  officer  who  makes  the  assignment.  If  the  recruits  embraced

last  detachment  to  its  destination,  each  commander  completing  it  so  far  as  concerns  the  re- 
cruits left  at  his  post.  When  this  is  not  practicable,  extracts  from  the  original  roll  are  to  be 
made  hy  the  authoritj'-  which  distributes  the  recruits,  to  accompany  the  several  detach-
